Technical requirements
To build our bot, we will use Bot Framework Composer version 2.x, which you can download from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/composer/install-composer?tabs=windows#download-composer.
Bot Framework Composer is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux and has two pre-requisites:
- Node.js 14.x: https://nodejs.org/en
- .NET Code SDK 3.1 or later: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/3.1
Bot Framework Composer will build a C# project behind the scenes and deploy it to our Azure subscription. If you would like to view the C# project, you can use Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition, which you can find at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community.
