title: Quickstart guide with Bolt for Python

-This quickstart guide aims to help you get a Slack app using Bolt for Python up and running as soon as possible!
+This quickstart guide will get you a running Slack app using Bolt for Python. When complete, you'll have a local environment configured with a customized [app](https://github.com/slack-samples/bolt-python-getting-started-app) that responds to "hello" messages. You'll then be able to modify it and make it your own.

-:::tip[Reference for readers]
-
-In search of the complete guide to building an app from scratch? Check out the [building an app](/tools/bolt-python/building-an-app) guide.
-
-:::
-
-#### Prerequisites
-
-A few tools are needed for the following steps. We recommend using the [**Slack CLI**](/tools/slack-cli/) for the smoothest experience, but other options remain available.
-
-You can also begin by installing git and downloading [Python 3.7 or later](https://www.python.org/downloads/), or the latest stable version of Python. Refer to [Python's setup and building guide](https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/setup-building/) for more details.
-
-Install the latest version of the Slack CLI to get started:
-
-- [Slack CLI for macOS & Linux](/tools/slack-cli/guides/installing-the-slack-cli-for-mac-and-linux)
-- [Slack CLI for Windows](/tools/slack-cli/guides/installing-the-slack-cli-for-windows)
-
-Then confirm a successful installation with the following command:
-
-```sh
-$ slack version
-```
-
-An authenticated login is also required if this hasn't been done before:
-
-```sh
-$ slack login
-```
-
-:::info[A place to belong]
-
-A workspace where development can happen is also needed.
+:::info[A workspace where development can happen is needed.]
We recommend using [developer sandboxes](/tools/developer-sandboxes) to avoid disruptions where real work gets done.

-## Creating a project {#creating-a-project}
-
-With the toolchain configured, it's time to set up a new Bolt project. This contains the code that handles logic for your app.
-
-If you don’t already have a project, let’s create a new one!
-
-
-
-
-A starter template can be used to start with project scaffolding:
-
-```sh
-$ slack create first-bolt-app --template slack-samples/bolt-python-getting-started-app
-$ cd first-bolt-app
-```
-
-After a project is created you'll have a `requirements.txt` file for app dependencies and a `.slack` directory for Slack CLI configuration.
-
-A few other files exist too, but we'll visit these later.
-
-
-
-
-A starter template can be cloned to start with project scaffolding:
+import QuickstartGuide from '@site/src/components/QuickstartGuide';
+
+
-```sh
-$ git clone https://github.com/slack-samples/bolt-python-getting-started-app first-bolt-app
-$ cd first-bolt-app
-```
-
-Outlines of a project are taking shape, so we can move on to running the app!
-
-
-
-
-We recommend using a [Python virtual environment](https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/#creating-a-virtual-environment) to manage your project's dependencies. This is a great way to prevent conflicts with your system's Python packages. Let's create and activate a new virtual environment with [Python 3.7 or later](https://www.python.org/downloads/):
-
-```sh
-$ python3 -m venv .venv
-$ source .venv/bin/activate
-$ pip install -r requirements.txt
-```
-
-Confirm the virtual environment is active by checking that the path to `python3` is _inside_ your project ([a similar command is available on Windows](https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/#activating-a-virtual-environment)):
-
-```sh
-$ which python3
-# Output: /path/to/first-bolt-app/.venv/bin/python3
-```
+---
## Running the app {#running-the-app}
-Before you can start developing with Bolt, you will want a running Slack app.
+Now that you're inside the directory, let's get the app running:
-
-
-
-The getting started app template contains a `manifest.json` file with details about an app that we will use to get started. Use the following command and select "Create a new app" to install the app to the team of choice:
-
-```sh
+```zsh
$ slack run
...
⚡️ Bolt app is running!
```
-With the app running, you can test it out with the following steps in Slack:
-
-1. Open a direct message with your app or invite the bot `@first-bolt-app (local)` to a public channel.
-2. Send "hello" to the current conversation and wait for a response.
-3. Click the attached button labelled "Click Me" to post another reply.
-
-After confirming the app responds, celebrate, then interrupt the process by pressing `CTRL+C` in the terminal to stop your app from running.
-
-
-
-
-Navigate to your list of apps and [create a new Slack app](https://api.slack.com/apps/new) using the "from a manifest" option:
-
-1. Select the workspace to develop your app in.
-2. Copy and paste the `manifest.json` file contents to create your app.
-3. Confirm the app features and click "Create".
-
-You'll then land on your app's **Basic Information** page, which is an overview of your app and which contains important credentials:
-
-
-
-To listen for events happening in Slack (such as a new posted message) without opening a port or exposing an endpoint, we will use [Socket Mode](/tools/bolt-python/concepts/socket-mode). This connection requires a specific app token:
-
-1. On the **Basic Information** page, scroll to the **App-Level Tokens** section and click **Generate Token and Scopes**.
-2. Name the token "Development" or something similar and add the `connections:write` scope, then click **Generate**.
-3. Save the generated `xapp` token as an environment variable within your project:
-
-```sh
-$ export SLACK_APP_TOKEN=
-```
-
-The above command works on Linux and macOS but [similar commands are available on Windows](https://superuser.com/questions/212150/how-to-set-env-variable-in-windows-cmd-line/212153#212153).
+You can test it out with the following steps in Slack:
-:::warning[Keep it secret. Keep it safe.]
+1. Invite the bot `@first-bolt-app (local)` to a public channel. You can do this a few ways:
-Treat your tokens like a password and [keep it safe](/security). Your app uses these to retrieve and send information to Slack.
+ Option A: @-mention them in a message in a channel. You will be prompted to add them.
-:::
-
-A bot token is also needed to interact with the Web API methods as your app's bot user. We can gather this as follows:
-
-1. Navigate to the **OAuth & Permissions** on the left sidebar and install your app to your workspace to generate a token.
-2. After authorizing the installation, you'll return to the **OAuth & Permissions** page and find a **Bot User OAuth Token**:
-
-
-
-3. Copy the bot token beginning with `xoxb` from the **OAuth & Permissions page** and then store it in a new environment variable:
-
-```sh
-$ export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-
-```
-
-After saving tokens for the app you created, it is time to run it:
-
-```sh
-$ python3 app.py
-...
-⚡️ Bolt app is running!
-```
-
-With the app running, you can test it out with the following steps in Slack:
-
-1. Open a direct message with your app or invite the bot `@BoltApp` to a public channel.
+ Option B: Click the channel name, go to the "Integrations" tab, and click the "Add apps" button.
+
2. Send "hello" to the current conversation and wait for a response.
-3. Click the attached button labelled "Click Me" to post another reply.
After confirming the app responds, celebrate, then interrupt the process by pressing `CTRL+C` in the terminal to stop your app from running.

-
-The created app will have some placeholder values and a small set of [scopes](/reference/scopes) to start, but we recommend exploring the customizations possible on app settings.
-
-
-
-
-Open app settings for your app with the following command:
-
-```sh

-
-This will open the following page in a web browser:

-
-Browse to https://api.slack.com/apps and select your app "Getting Started Bolt App" from the list.

-This will open the following page:

-
-On these pages you're free to make changes such as updating your app icon, configuring app features, and perhaps even distributing your app!
