Hello guys,

how do i run tcat every time i restart my computer? Sorry for this dummy question...

Hi @uelramon,

If you've installed using the auto installer, the recommended procedure, it should automatically start within a minute or so after bootup. If you've manually installed, you should configure crontab as in the manual.

Cheers,

Emile

Thanks @dentoir ,

I used the auto installer. As I do not have many programming skills, I have no idea what commands I should perform to start the program. In other software I use go through the commands to the folder where the software is installed and perform the command:

Bin / softwarename start

Would it be the same with Tcat? Thanks again!!

Hi @uelramon,

Do you have a server which is online permanently? Or are you running TCAT on your desktop/laptop computer? Because you've used the auto installer, TCAT should always start up, in both scenario's.

However, if you are running TCAT on your desktop, it will only capture tweets when your system is turned on, obviously.
