I know how to download a project from GitHub as explained here. Working on Microsoft Azure Bot Service. And need to download a package that is for Microsoft Bot Framework Emulator. The link for the download is given in the in the section Download the Bot Framework Emulator of this Microsoft article. That link takes me to this GitHub site. But I'm not clear on how to download the package from there.

The link you are talking about is the GitHub release page for Microsoft's Bot Framework Channel Emulator which would help a developer to test the Bot locally.
You just need to identify your platform [Windows (botframework-emulator-setup-4.0.15-alpha.exe)/ Mac (botframework-emulator-4.0.15-alpha-mac.zip) / Linux (botframework-emulator_4.0.15-alpha_amd64.deb)], download the file and you're good to go.
An application will be installed on your machine and you will be able to debug your bot locally.
One added information: You'll be needing Ngrok for tunneling after you set up the Bot Framework Channel Emulator.

Following your instructions, I installed the emulator and sent a test message but it say `couldn't` send. I've just posted the issue [here](https://stackoverflow.com/q/50378863/1232087). – nam May 16 '18 at 19:52

Can you please post a screenshot of the error log? It should be on the right hand side of the emulator. Also I can see that you have set your MicrosoftAppId and MicrosoftAppPassword to the _default_ value. Is it also the same in your code? – poet_ May 17 '18 at 07:38

Another thing, can you please check the **PORT Number** in your code and in the emulator? Check whether they are same or not. They should be same. And as per the your screenshot, I can see you have specified your messaging endpoint url to your project hosting URL. Ideally it should be: (http://localhost:PORT_NUMBER/api/messages) not your project URL – poet_ May 17 '18 at 07:55
