The Bot Framework Emulator is a desktop application that allows bot developers to test and debug bots built using the [Bot Framework SDK](https://github.com/microsoft/botbuilder). You can use the Bot Framework Emulator to test bots running either locally on your machine or connect to bots running remotely through a tunnel.
This repo is part the [Microsoft Bot Framework](https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-sdk) - a comprehensive framework for building enterprise-grade conversational AI experiences.
* Download the Bot Framework V4 Emulator for your platform from the [GitHub releases](https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-Emulator/releases/latest) page.
Nightly builds are generated using the latest code. Therefore, they may not be stable, and most likely lack up to date documentation. These builds are better suited for more experienced users, although everyone is welcome to use them and provide feedback. Nightly builds of the V4 Emulator are available [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/botframework-emulator-nightlies/releases).
