## Installation Instructions

To install the application on your system follow these steps:

1. [Create a Twilio account](https://www.twilio.com/referral/7fB3Je) (if you don't have one yet). It's free!

2. [Generate an API Key](https://www.twilio.com/console/project/api-keys) for your account.

3. Clone this repository

4. Create a virtualenv and install the requirements

5. Create a *.env* file by copying the *.env.template* file. Fill out the values for your Twilio account's SID, API Key SID and API Key Secret.

6. Execute `python app.py` to start the server.

7. Navigate to *http://localhost:5000* on your web browser. Connecting to the service from a phone or another computer may not work, as browsers require a secure (HTTPS) connection to give access to the media APIs. In that case, I suggest you use [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) to give your application a temporary HTTPS URL.
