Description on How To Use SCAT

This is a brief description of how to use the Slack Community Analysis Tool(SCAT) for analysis

Fetching Data from slackarchive

There is a driver file data_fetcher.py in the root directory that uses the methods of slackarchive.py in the lib/data/ to fetch the data from slackarchive.io. The script is designed to download the data logs from the archive and pretty print into json files that are located in data/ in the root directory. If a particular team data is not there, it creates a folder for it with its name and adds the team file, channels file and messages as well as users of all the channels separately. The message limit is currently set to 100 which can be changed in config.py in the root directory. The current team name is 'syple' which can be changed as per the user requirement in data_fetcher.py

To run the driver :

> python3.5 data_fetcher.py on terminal
