<p><b>ttytter</b> 
Not another Twitter client! Yes, another Twitter client. The difference here is that you're dealing with a multi-functional, fully 100% text, Perl command line client. 
</p>
<p><br>
tytter is a twitter client for the command line
</p>
<p><span style="font-family: monospace"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=ttytter">ttytter</a></span>
</p>
<div>When you start TTYtter without a keyfile, which will be the case the first time you run it, it will automatically
<p>start an assistant to help you create the keyfile. You only need to create the keyfile once for each account. It will never expire. 
</p>
TTYtter will find where your cURL is located, and if successful, you should see something like this:</div>
<p><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://postimg.org/image/fthxntgv3/">ttyter launch image</a>
</p>
<div>Once installed simply type 
<pre>ttytter -dostream
</pre>
<p>into your command line and it will prompt you for 
the Oauth key, click the given URL
</p>
and type in the key which appears in your browser.</div>
<p>Now you should see your twitter timeline in the shell.
</p>
<p>Note: If you use this screen name on other machines you use TTYtter on, simply copy the keyfile there
</p>
<div>To enable ANSI colours and some other features here is a template .ttytterrc which should suffice for most users 
<p><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://d-h.st/l0g">.ttytterrc</a> create this file in your home dir and restart ttytter to see the differences.
