# LINE Bot template generator for yeoman 日本語はこちら

This repository contains generator of LINE Bot for yeoman. To use the package, install yeoman and the generator.

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-line-bot

This is optimized for Visual Studio Code, I strongly recommend using Visual Studio Code as editor. You can install it from Visual Studio Code download.
