cameo-twitter v0.1.1

cameo-twitter

Small-scale Twitter crawling and archiving.

Installation

Supposing that you're running Ubuntu, e.g., precise, here's what you need to get started:

• Install postgresql-9.3
  • create / edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list, add the line deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main
  • Add the repo's key: curl https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
  • Update: sudo apt-get update
  • Install: sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3
• Get cameo-twitter
  • git clone https://github.com/chbrown/cameo-twitter.git
• Install the module:
  • cd cameo-twitter
  • By default it will create a database named "cameo-twitter". Edit the config.database value in package.json if you want to use something else.
  • npm install
  • npm link -g
• Now, once you have some users queued up to be watched (TODO: make this easier), you can run cameo-twitter edges-work to monitor the Twitter user graph.

TODO: talk about twilight and ~/.twitter configuration.
