Editing Twitter project Linux setup (section)

==Test the TwitterAPI code==

Start a command prompt and navigate to the Desktop/TwitterAPI directory where the TwitterAPI code lives. For example, if the TwitterAPI project is at <code>~/Desktop/TwitterAPI</code>,

 cd ~/Desktop/TwitterAPI

will change you into that directory (the "~" means your home directory!), and

 ls

will show you the source code files in that directory. One of the files is "twitter1.py", which has a ".py" extension indicating that it is a Python script. Type:

 python twitter1.py

at the command prompt to execute the run.py Python script. Wait a little while while your computer connects to Twitter. You should see a series of tweets run by your screen. If you don't, let a staff member know.
