Snips Skills Manager
The Snips Skills Manager is a tool for easily setting up and managing a Snips assistant.
A single configuration file, the Snipsfile, is required to create a Snips assistant. In it, you specify:
The URL of your assistant, as created in the Snips Console
The skills you want to install
Bindings between intents and skills
If required, additional parameters for you skill, such as an API key or the address of a lamp
Various configuration parameters, such as language and logging preferences.
Check out Awesome Snips, a curated list of Snips skills, assistants and other resources to get you started. In particular, make sure to read the Getting Started guide.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
Raspbian
Depending on your setup, you may need to update pip, and install some packages via apt-get.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip libsdl-mixer1.2 libusb-1.0 python-pyaudio libsdl1.2-dev cython cython3 libudev-dev python-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsmpeg-dev python-numpy libportmidi-dev libswscale-dev libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev portaudio19-dev
$ pip install pip --upgrade
macOS
On macOS, pip can be installed via easy_install:
$ sudo easy_install pip
On macOS, the SDL library is required. It can be installed via Homebrew:

Installation
The Snips Skills Manager is on PyPI, so you can just install it with pip:
$ pip install snipsskills
A note on virtualenv
We suggest installing and running Snips Skills using a virtualenv to avoid granting root privileges, and ensure your setup does not break when other packages are installed. Virtualenv should be enabled before installing the snipsskills pip package, can be installed and activated as follows:
$ sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv
$ virtualenv snips
$ source snips/bin/activate
$ pip install snipsskills
To exit the virtualenv, simply run:
$ deactivate
