Q
How do I authenticate my requests to Slack?
A
When working with Slack apps or Web API, you'll often need to send access tokens, also known as bearer tokens, along with inbound requests using the token query parameter.
Some of the tokens you'll be given while going through the integration creation process. Other tokens you obtain by sending users through the OAuth 2.0 authentication flow.
When you're working with Slack apps, you'll be awarded access tokens after a user approves your application.

Q
How to install Slack on Ubuntu?
A
For the installation of the Slack, use the following link as given below "https://www.linuxhelp.com/how-to-install-slack-3-1-1-on-ubuntu-18-04/".
Q
How do I set up my developer environment in Slack?
A
There's no explicit sandbox or developer environment available to work against. Instead, you'll need to use a workspace you've created or are a member of.
It's best to keep your integration or app's ownership contained within the workspace that is responsible for it.
Start by building a Slack app to contain all of your work -- by default, it can only (& easily!) be installed on your own workspace. Follow the UI instructions to add features — most require that you provide a HTTP server Slack can reach.

Q
How are incoming webhooks, slash commands, and bot users different in Slack?
A
All three integration types allow you to post messages within a channel but differ in how those messages are triggered and how users interact with your app.
You can use all of these integration types together in your Slack app.
Incoming webhooks - send messages to a channel at will by using a specific URL. Best used when activity that would incite posting a message occurs in a remote service.
Example: If you have an issue tracking system and want to post to a channel when a bug is created or resolved, use an incoming webhook invoked from your issue tracking system.
Slash commands - members execute slash commands from within Slack, resulting in us triggering your server to return them a message. The message can either be displayed only to the executing user, or to the channel from which it was triggered.
Example: Your slash command allows users to create and resolve bugs from the Slack command line with either action resulting in a message being displayed to that channel.

Note: This process is strongly preferred over the use of deprecated verification tokens.
You can also use Mutual TLS. Mutual TLS verifies the identity of Slack in a TLS-terminating server, before a request reaches your application code as "https://api.slack.com/docs/verifying-requests-from-slack#mutual_tls"
