1. Download the archive from the Releases page for your operating system.

   Tip

   MacOS users should download darwin release file.

2. Unpack;

3. Change directory to where you have unpacked the archive;

4. Run ./slackdump -h to view help options.

Logging in

There are two types of login options available:

• Automatic (EZ-Login 3000, works only in 64-bit systems); OR
• Manual

Automatic login is the default one, it requires no prior setup, and the general recommendation is to use the Automatic login. If the Automatic login doesn't work for some reason, fallback to Manual login steps.

Usage

There are four modes of operation:

• Listing users/channels
• Dumping messages and threads (private and public)
• Creating a Slack export
• Downloading all Emojis
