Dapper Bot

Slack bot powered by Claude. Self-hosted, one-command install.

Install

On a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 VPS, as root:

curl -fsSL https://install.dapperbot.com/install.sh | sudo bash

• Have an Anthropic API key from console.anthropic.com.
• Have your own Slack member ID (Slack profile → More → Copy member ID).

Upgrade

sudo /opt/dapper-bot/upgrade.sh
