  37 ## Usage
  38 #### The stream
  39 Just type
  40 ```bash
  41 rainbow
  42 ```
  43 and see your stream.
  44
  45 I shipped a feature which can display **tweet's images directly on terminal**.
  46 You can try it with:
  47 ```bash
  48 rainbow -iot # Or rainbow --image-on-term
  49 ```
  50
  51 In the first time you will be asked for authorization of Rainbow Stream app at Twitter.
  52 Just click the "Authorize access" button and paste PIN number to the terminal, the rainbow will start.
  53
  54 #### The interactive mode
  55 While your personal stream is continued, you are also ready to tweet, search, reply, retweet... directly from console.
  56 Simply type "h" and hit the Enter key to see the help.
  57
  58 Input is in interactive mode. It means that you can use arrow key to move up and down history, tab-autocomplete or 2 tab to view available suggestion. Input history from previous run is available as well.
