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
20 .. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DTVD/rainbowstream/master/screenshot/rs.gif
\r
29 You will need Python and pip (2.7.x or 3.x).
\r
33 sudo pip install rainbowstream
\r
34 # Python 3 users: sudo pip3 install rainbowstream
\r
45 # Python 3 users : use -p to specify your Python 3 localtion as below
\r
46 # virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv
\r
47 source venv/bin/activate
\r
48 pip install rainbowstream
\r
53 If you use Linux, you might need to install the python-dev package if you haven't already.
\r
54 For debian-based distros, these can be installed with
\r
58 sudo apt-get install python-dev
\r
60 Besides, Mac OSX Maverick with Xcode 5.1 has a well-known `clang unknown argument`_ problem with
\r
61 the ``Pillow`` package installation - a dependency of this app.
\r
62 If 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
76 and see your stream.
\r
78 I shipped a feature which can display **tweet's images directly on terminal**.
\r
79 You can try it with:
\r
83 rainbowstream -iot # Or rainbowstream --image-on-term
\r
85 You also can change the config key ``IMAGE_ON_TERM`` to ``True`` inside the app
\r
86 to enable above feature (see `config management`_ section).
\r
88 In the first time you will be asked for authorization of Rainbow Stream
\r
89 app at Twitter. Just click the “Authorize access” button and paste PIN
\r
90 number to the terminal, the rainbow will start.
\r
92 The interactive mode
\r
93 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
\r
95 While your personal stream is continued, you are also ready to tweet,
\r
96 search, reply, retweet… directly from console. Simply type “h” and hit
\r
97 the Enter key to see the help.
\r
99 Input is in interactive mode. It means that you can use arrow key to
\r
100 move up and down history, tab-autocomplete or 2 tab to view available
\r
101 suggestion. Input history from previous run is available as well.
\r
103 Available commands are listed in `Read The Docs`_.
\r
105 Theme customization
\r
106 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
\r
108 Rainbow Stream is shipped with some default themes.
\r
109 You can either change theme by ``theme`` command or create your favorite one.
