Jarvis the Nutritionist - Wit version

This is a test version of Jarvis-the-nutritionist with a wit.ai integration using pywit, a Python library for wit.

Installation

Create a virtual environment with Python 3.5 (or 3.4)

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.5 venv

Enter the virtual environment

source venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run

It is possible to run the bot in two different ways:

• in a terminal to test the commands directly with wit.ai
• on Facebook Messenger to test the full experience

For both of these, you have to copy the .env.bk file and name it .env. Then edit the .env file and write the correct tokens.

The variables in this file have to be on your environment variables. To add them on Linux, type :

export $(cat .env)

In Terminal

To run the bot in interactive mode in the terminal, terminal_mode variable (line 8 of bot.py) must be set to True. Then just launch the python file bot.py with the following command :

python bot.py

On Messenger

To use it directly on Messenger, set the terminal_mode to False. Then you need to setup a Facebook page first. You can follow the Messenger Platform setup guide.

After setting up the page, run the bot with :

python bot.py

Then you have to subscribe your page to the webhook https://<your_host>/webhook (note: you must have a valid SSL certificate).

Hint : you can use ngrok, to test in localhost.
