10 Terminal-based Twitter Client. Realtime tweetstream, compose, search ,
11 favorite … and much more fun directly from terminal.
13 This package is built on the top of `Python Twitter Tool`_ and `Twitter API`_,
14 can run on Python 2.7.x and 3.x .
20 .. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DTVD/rainbowstream/master/screenshot/rs.gif
29 You will need Python and pip (2.7.x or 3.x).
33 sudo pip install rainbowstream
34 # Python 3 users: sudo pip3 install rainbowstream
45 # Python 3 users : use -p to specify your Python 3 localtion as below
46 # virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv
47 source venv/bin/activate
48 pip install rainbowstream
53 If you use Linux, you might need to install some packages if you haven't already.
54 For debian-based distros, these can be installed with
58 sudo apt-get install python-dev libjpeg libjpeg-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev
60 Besides, Mac OSX Maverick with Xcode 5.1 has a well-known `clang unknown argument`_ problem with
61 the ``Pillow`` package installation - a dependency of this app.
62 If you are in this case, I recommend taking a look at `Issue #10`_ and let me know if this workaround doesn't work for you.
66 export ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future
68 If installation in *the quick way* doesn't work:
70 - ``sudo pip uninstall rainbowstream``
71 - use the *virtualenv way* above
72 - `create an issue`_ and provide:
91 I shipped a feature which can display **tweet's images directly on terminal**.
96 rainbowstream -iot # Or rainbowstream --image-on-term
98 You also can change the config key ``IMAGE_ON_TERM`` to ``True`` inside the app
99 to enable above feature,
100 change ``IMAGE_SHIFT`` to set image's margin (relative to your terminal's width)
101 or ``IMAGE_MAX_HEIGHT`` to control max height of every image.
102 (see `config management`_ section).
104 In the first time you will be asked for authorization of Rainbow Stream
105 app at Twitter. Just click the “Authorize access” button and paste PIN
106 number to the terminal, the rainbow will start.
111 While your personal stream is continued, you are also ready to tweet,
112 search, reply, retweet… directly from console. Simply type “h” and hit
113 the Enter key to see the help.
115 Input is in interactive mode. It means that you can use arrow key to
116 move up and down history, tab-autocomplete or 2 tab to view available
117 suggestion. Input history from previous run is available as well.
119 Available commands are listed in `Read The Docs`_.
124 Rainbow Stream is shipped with some default themes.
125 You can either change theme by ``theme`` command or create your favorite one.
