$ git clone https://github.com/acucciniello/alexa-skill-boilerplate.git

Deployment

This command will deploy it to lambda given you have sent up your environment for Claudia usage.

In order to have this properly set up:

  1. Create a folder in your user’s home directory on your computer
$ mkdir ~/.aws && cd ~/.aws
  1. Create a file called credentials
$ touch credentials
  1. Edit that file to have your AWS Credentials

aws_access_key_id = ACCESS_KEY_ID_FROM_AWS_PAGE
aws_secret_access_key = SECRET_KEY_FROM_AWS_PAGE
