Hi, thanks for creating this. I am new to Github and would like to know how to install and use "tweep.py"? I tried to clone and download the library from Github, but did not find a way to use it on CL. I am using Windows 10 BTW. Thanks for help!

You need to download and install Python version 3.5 or higher for Windows from official Python site in order to use this script.

After installing Python, follow the readme.md's instructions (installing the required packages in pip, and how to use the script).

Note that you need to open an Administrator command prompt in order to perform pip3 package installations. The script itself does not require an administrator command prompt to run.
