Troubleshooting

• Terminal Slack opens for a second but then closes again

  	This might be due to your `SLACK_TOKEN` not being recognised. Make sure the put your `SLACK_TOKEN` between the two single quotes when exporting it:
  
  	```
  	export SLACK_TOKEN='xoxp-254112160503-252950188691-252375361712-6cbf56aada30951a9d310a5f23d032a0'
  	```
