26The quick way\r
27^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
28\r
8e004f8d 29You will need Python and pip (2.7.x or 3.x).\r
3108149e 30\r
31.. code:: bash\r
32\r
fd9cd791 33 sudo pip install rainbowstream\r
8e004f8d 34 # Python 3 users: sudo pip3 install rainbowstream\r

37The recommended way\r
38^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
39\r
40Use `virtualenv`_\r

41\r
42.. code:: bash\r
43\r
b84845b9 44 virtualenv venv\r

50Troubleshooting\r
51^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r

O
53If you use Linux, you might need to install the python-dev package if you haven't already. \r
54For debian-based distros, these can be installed with\r
55\r
56.. code:: bash\r
57\r
58 sudo apt-get install python-dev\r
59\r
60Besides, Mac OSX Maverick with Xcode 5.1 has a well-known `clang unknown argument`_ problem with\r
80fa0f3a
O
61the ``Pillow`` package installation - a dependency of this app.\r
62If you are in this case, I recommend take a look at `Issue #10`_ and let me know if the workaround doesn't work for you.\r
45e6bb0d 63\r
3108149e 64Usage\r
65-----\r
66\r

77\r
3216f3f4
O
78I shipped a feature which can display **tweet's images directly on terminal**.\r
79You can try it with:\r
4373c17c
O
80\r
81.. code:: bash\r
82\r
9f37426f 83 rainbowstream -iot # Or rainbowstream --image-on-term\r
4373c17c 84\r
99037620
O
85You also can change the config key ``IMAGE_ON_TERM`` to ``True`` inside the app \r
86to enable above feature, \r
87change ``IMAGE_SHIFT`` to set image's margin (relative to your terminal's width) \r
88or ``IMAGE_MAX_HEIGHT`` to control max height of every image.\r
89(see `config management`_ section).\r
89d0f21f 90\r

f5677fb1 100the Enter key to see the help.\r
