Troubleshooting

- Terminal Slack opens for a second but then closes again

This might be due to your SLACKTOKEN not being recognised. Make sure the put your SLACKTOKEN between the two single quotes when exporting it:

export SLACK_TOKEN='xoxp-254112160503-252950188691-252375361712-6cbf56aada30951a9d310a5f23d032a0'
