## installation
clone this repo
cd into the directory
run `npm install`
## configure
Copy `config.sample.json` to `config.json` and update it to match your setup
## register the app service
Generate an `skype-registration.yaml` file with `node index.js -r -u "http://your-bridge-server:8090"`
Note: The 'registration' setting in the config.json needs to set to the path of this file. By default, it already is.
Copy this `skype-registration.yaml` file to your home server, then edit it, setting its url to point to your bridge server. e.g. `url: 'http://your-bridge-server.example.org:8090'`
Edit your homeserver.yaml file and update the `app_service_config_files` with the path to the `skype-registration.yaml` file.
Launch the bridge with ```node index.js```.
Restart your HS.
