Linux Terminal Twitter Client

Today I was bored so I decided to write a Twitter client centered in Terminal. It’s not a super-client, it’s just plain and simple. It was more of a test of myself. Anyways be looking for versions in more languages, hopefully in Python or Bash in a few days, maybe in Perl someday.

  1. Download & Unzip
  2. Put it into /home/youruser/scripts ( so tweet and twitter and etc. are in that directory )
  3. sudo bash install.sh ( it will try to install php5-curl if you don’t have it, you need this )
  4. . ~/.bashrc ( include the period at the beginning )
  5. setupTwitter twitterusername twitterpassword
  6. You may now use twitter to view the 5 latest tweets or tweet “YOUR Text here“ to tweet something
