Currently users have hard time installing the project. Getting started is a great entry barrier.

I'm thinking of creating a binary for Mac OS X and all other Unix distributions. pyinstall is a nice problem solver in this case. It basically creates a dist/ folder with a binary inside it and we can copy it to user's /usr/local/bin at runtime.

Concerns:
We currently require user to provide a Slack API Token inside settings.py. In this case, we have to request api token from the user when program runs, and save it to user's home directory for further uses, with a warning indicating we are saving the api token to home directory.
This is no safer than entering the api key to settings.py, but still not a safe process. What do you think? @yasintoy

Writing Api token isn't so big problem but I'm not sure whether pyinstall works for SlackGitsin. We have many requirements(not only python library). On the other hand it's worth trying.
