10 Terminal-based Twitter Client. Realtime tweetstream, compose, search,
\r
11 favorite … and much more fun directly from terminal.
\r
13 This package is built on the top of `Python Twitter Tool`_ and `Twitter API`_,
\r
14 can run on Python 2.7.x and 3.x .
\r
16 Home page : http://www.rainbowstream.org/
\r
18 Source code : https://github.com/DTVD/rainbowstream
\r
23 .. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DTVD/rainbowstream/master/screenshot/rs.gif
\r
32 You will need Python and pip (2.7.x or 3.x).
\r
36 sudo pip install rainbowstream
\r
37 # Python 3 users: sudo pip3 install rainbowstream
\r
48 # Python 3 users : use -p to specify your Python 3 location as below
\r
49 # virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv
\r
50 source venv/bin/activate
\r
51 pip install rainbowstream
\r
56 If you use Linux, you might need to install some packages if you haven't already.
\r
57 For debian-based distros, these can be installed with
\r
61 sudo apt-get install python-dev libjpeg-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev
\r
63 Besides, Mac OSX Maverick with Xcode 5.1 has a well-known `clang unknown argument`_ problem with
\r
64 the ``Pillow`` package installation - a dependency of this app.
\r
65 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.
\r
69 export ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future
\r
71 If installation in *the quick way* doesn't work:
\r
73 - ``sudo pip uninstall rainbowstream``
\r
74 - use the *virtualenv way* above
\r
75 - `create an issue`_ and provide:
\r
78 + Your Python version
\r
92 and see your stream.
\r
94 I shipped a feature which can display **tweet's images directly on terminal**.
\r
95 You can try it with:
\r
99 rainbowstream -iot # Or rainbowstream --image-on-term
\r
101 You also can change the config key ``IMAGE_ON_TERM`` to ``True`` inside the app
\r
102 to enable above feature,
\r
103 change ``IMAGE_SHIFT`` to set image's margin (relative to your terminal's width)
\r
104 or ``IMAGE_MAX_HEIGHT`` to control max height of every image.
\r
105 (see `config management`_ section).
\r
107 In the first time you will be asked for authorization of Rainbow Stream
\r
108 app at Twitter. Just click the “Authorize access” button and paste PIN
\r
109 number to the terminal, the rainbow will start.
\r
111 You might want to use rainbowstream via an **HTTP/SOCKS proxy**. Proxy settings are
\r
112 provided as follows:
\r
116 rainbowstream --proxy-host localhost --proxy-port 1337 --proxy-type HTTP
\r
117 # or using the short form:
\r
118 rainbowstream -ph localhost -pp 1337 -pt HTTP
\r
120 Both ``--proxy-port`` and ``--proxy-type`` can be omitted. In this case default
\r
121 proxy port ``8080`` and default proxy type ``SOCKS5`` are used.
\r
123 The interactive mode
\r
124 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
\r
126 While your personal stream is continued, you are also ready to tweet,
\r
127 search, reply, retweet… directly from console. Simply type “h” and hit
\r
128 the Enter key to see the help.
\r
130 Input is in interactive mode. It means that you can use arrow key to
\r
131 move up and down history, tab-autocomplete or 2 tab to view available
\r
132 suggestion. Input history from previous run is available as well.
\r
134 Available commands are listed in `Read The Docs`_.
\r
136 Theme customization
\r
137 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
\r
139 Rainbow Stream is shipped with some default themes.
\r
140 You can either change theme by ``theme`` command or create your favorite one.
