This app was built for heroku, if you want to run locally or on another platform you will require python 2.7 and a local install of redis, you will then need to install the modules listed in requirements.txt
You can do this by cloning the repo to your server of choice (local or whatever)
git clone git@github.com/blackshroud/alexaweb.git
OR you can setup a heroku app and set a forked version of the git as the source (heroku talks your through it)
make a note of your app name and if you want to rename it with
heroku apps:rename [yourappname]
heroku create
Add redis
heroku addons:create heroku-redis:hobby-dev

You will also need to set the redis URL in the creds file
git add creds.py git commit -m "updated creds" git push heroku master
heroku open
