Installation

The Twilio Autopilot CLI will eventually be available publicly via NPM. However, while it's in development, the installation process is:

1. Clone this git repo
2. cd into the project root directory
3. Run $ sudo npm link

NOTE: To uninstall/unlink, run $ sudo npm unlink

Configuration

To use the Twilio Autopilot CLI, you first need to configure your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token. Optionally, multiple accounts can be configured using the --profile option to associate an Account SID and Auth Token with a profile name.

To configure the CLI with your Twilio credentials run the following command: $ ta init. Credentials will be saved in a local JSON file in ~/.twilio/config.json.

The first set of credentials you provide will become your 'default' profile. You can add additional profiles or update an existing profile by running the following command: $ ta init --profile test-profile (where 'test-profile' the the profile name you'd like to add/update).

Templates

Templates are used as a simple starting point for creating new assistants. If the --template option is provided with the create command, you'll be prompted to select a template. If the create command is used without any options, the default 'hello-world' template is used.

Schema Files

A schema file is a JSON document that's used to define an Autopilot assistant. They tell the CLI what to create or update. Templates are pre-defined schema files. So, templates can be used as a starting point for creating a new schema or to create custom templates.
