## README

# JanetBot

An application to analyse the gender balance in the images on the FT.com homepage

## Setup
This service is hosted on Heroku.
It is built on NodeJS and will require a local setup.

## Local development
_Please refer to the dev handover notes._

Before you start, ensure you have all the environment variables in a `.env` file, at the root of the project.
It is recommended to comment out the `janetbot.warn` line in `index.js` (l.168) to avoid spamming the live Slack channel and meddling with the live instance. If Slack messaging is required it should be re-routed to the dev channel.

Run `npm install`, if it is the first time you check out the project.

Run `npm start` to run the project locally, and (`Ctrl + C`) to stop the process.
