Client Execution

Y-Bot ships with a unix shell script for running an Alexa client. It can be found in the scripts/xnix folder of your y_bot installation and is called 'y-bot-alexa.sh'.

Alternatively you can use the following command line to run it

python3 -m programy.clients.restful.flask.aslexa.client --config ../../config/xnix/config.alexa.yaml --cformat yaml --logging ../../config/xnix/logging.yaml

Running either of these and you should see the following output

Client Configuration
