Getting Started

To get a local copy up and run the program do these steps on the console:

• To clone the project to your machine, run git clone https://github.com/petumazo/Twitter-KeepDevelopingBot.git.

• To install the required dependencies, run bundle install.

• For it to run you'll have to get your Token, Secret Toke, Consumer Key and Consumer_Secret, if you don´t know-how, you can check the official twitter guide on how to get your access tokens.

• If you're still confused and you don´t know how to generate your access tokens follow these steps:

  • Login to your Twitter account on Twitter Developer and ask for access to Twitter API, follow this [video tutorial] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlvtqp44xoQ) if you feel confused.
  • Navigate to the Twitter app dashboard and open the Twitter app for which you would like to generate access tokens.
  • Navigate to the "Keys and Tokens" page.
  • Select 'Create' under the "Access token & access token secret" section.

• To run the bot, run bin/Keep_developing_bot.rb in the console.

• Remember (To generate your access token and secret, you must have a Twitter app. You will need to register an application with Twitter. Twitter requires all API communication to be via an app which is registered on Twitter.)

• To run RSpec:

  • run 'gem install rspec' on your console from the root directory
  • run 'rspec' to check for tests

Prerequisites

• Have ruby compiler installed on your system. You can get it from here
