## Getting Started
To get a copy of the project , you can go on the GitHub's webpage of the project and click on the green button to download as a .ZIP file.
However , if you're using a prompt on a unix machine use this line :
```
git clone https://github.com/Franck1333/TwittBot-RANDOM.git
```
However , before doing anything , you should check updates of your platform before Install and Run this project , it's recommended ;=)
with that command line :
```
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
```
### Prerequisites
To use the project , you will need some Hardware:
A Raspberry Pi (Why not a ZERO Pi :+1: )
A Micro S.D card (8 Gb Minimum)
A screen (Anything you need to look at your console or SSH/VNC)
And you will also need some libraries that are already include Natively in python :
```
import time
import os
import sys
import datetime
#Blibliothèque Twython (Twitter/Python)
from twython import Twython
#Blibliothèque RANDOM pour l'utilisation de l'aléatoire
import random
#Blibliothèque du Projet
from temps_sys import temps
```
#### KEYS
To make work the project , you will need some Identification keys that you will ask to Twitter to get them;
You will need :
```
#IDENTIFIANTS DE CONNEXION a l'API Twitter -- DEBUT --
CONSUMER_KEY = '***' #Changer ces identifiants par les vôtres
CONSUMER_SECRET = '***' #Changer ces identifiants par les vôtres
ACCESS_KEY = '***' #Changer ces identifiants par les vôtres
ACCESS_SECRET = '***' #Changer ces identifiants par les vôtres
print("Identification en cours...")
twitter = Twython(CONSUMER_KEY,CONSUMER_SECRET,ACCESS_KEY,ACCESS_SECRET)
#IDENTIFIANTS DE CONNEXION a l'API Twitter -- FIN --
```
You can ask all those keys, here at this adress : https://apps.twitter.com/
