# Vannevar

Vannevar is the [Hypothes.is project][hyp]'s helpful Slack bot.

Vannevar is a [hubot][hubot] and is designed to be deployed on

[Heroku][heroku].

[heroku]: https://www.heroku.com/

[hubot]: https://hubot.github.com/

[hyp]: https://hypothes.is/

## Testing Vannevar locally

You can test Vannevar by running the following. You need a local redis instance

running first (Vannevar uses redis for basic persistence).

    % bin/hubot -n vannevar

You'll see some start up output about where your scripts come from and a

prompt.

    [Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:41:11 GMT] INFO Loading scripts from /home/tomb/Development/hubot/scripts

Then you can interact with Vannevar by typing `vannevar help`.

    vannevar> vannevar help

    ...

## Scripting

You can add functionality to Vannevar by writing scripts. Read up on what you

can do with hubot in the [Scripting Guide][scripting].

[scripting]: https://github.com/github/hubot/blob/master/docs/scripting.md

You can also add scripts from [hubot-scripts][scripts] to `hubot-scripts.json`,

or scripts from any published NPM package (see the [hubot-scripts GitHub

org][hs-org] for a start) using `external-scripts.json` (you'll need to `npm

install --save` these first).
