10Terminal-based Twitter Client. Realtime tweetstream, compose, search ,\r
11favorite … and much more fun directly from terminal.\r
12\r
13This package is built on the top of `Python Twitter Tool`_ and `Twitter API`_,\r
14can run on Python 2.7.x and 3.x .\r
15\r
16Install\r
17-------\r
18\r
19The quick way\r
20^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
21\r
22You will need Python and pip (2.7.x or 3.x).\r
23\r
24.. code:: bash\r
25\r
26 sudo pip install rainbowstream\r
27 # Python 3 users: sudo pip3 install rainbowstream\r
28\r
29The recommended way\r
30^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
31\r
32Use `virtualenv`_\r
33\r
34.. code:: bash\r
35\r
36 virtualenv venv\r
37 # Python 3 users : use -p to specify your Python 3 localtion as below\r
38 # virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv\r
39 source venv/bin/activate\r
40 pip install rainbowstream\r
41\r
42Troubleshooting\r
43^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
44\r
45If you use Linux, you might need to install the python-dev package if you haven't already.\r
46For debian-based distros, these can be installed with\r
47\r
48.. code:: bash\r
49\r
50 sudo apt-get install python-dev\r
51\r
52Besides, Mac OSX Maverick with Xcode 5.1 has a well-known `clang unknown argument`_ problem with\r
53the ``Pillow`` package installation - a dependency of this app.\r
54If 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
55\r
56Usage\r
57-----\r
58\r
59The stream\r
60^^^^^^^^^^\r
61\r
62Just type\r
63\r
64.. code:: bash\r
65\r
66 rainbowstream\r
67\r
68and see your stream.\r
69\r
70I shipped a feature which can display **tweet's images directly on terminal**.\r
71You can try it with:\r
72\r
73.. code:: bash\r
74\r
75 rainbowstream -iot # Or rainbowstream --image-on-term\r
76\r
77You also can change the config key ``IMAGE_ON_TERM`` to ``True`` inside the app\r
78to enable above feature (see `config management`_ section).\r
79\r
80In the first time you will be asked for authorization of Rainbow Stream\r
81app at Twitter. Just click the “Authorize access” button and paste PIN\r
82number to the terminal, the rainbow will start.\r
83\r
84The interactive mode\r
85^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
86\r

88search, reply, retweet… directly from console. Simply type “h” and hit\r
89the Enter key to see the help.\r
90\r
91Input is in interactive mode. It means that you can use arrow key to\r
92move up and down history, tab-autocomplete or 2 tab to view available\r

354- `Create your own Twitter Application`_\r
355- Get your Twitter application’s API key and secret\r
356- Fork github's repo and clone in your system.\r
357- Create a file ``consumer.py`` in ```rainbowstream```_ folder with\r
358 following content\r
359\r
360 .. code:: python\r
361\r
362 # Consumer information\r

369\r
370 # cd to directory which contains setup.py (cloned directory)\r
371 virtualenv venv # Python3 users: use -p to specify python3\r
372 source venv/bin/activate\r
373 pip install -e .\r
