Installation

Installation is two part. First

In a terminal:

* Install a current version of Net::Twitter. Versions earlier than 3.0 are not supported.
* Create a directory for irssi scripts, if it doesn't already exist: mkdir ~/.irssi/scripts
* Change to that directory: cd ~/.irssi/scripts
* Remove any old version of the script: rm twirssi.pl
* Download the latest version: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gedge/twirssi/master/twirssi.pl
* If you want it to automatically load with irssi, create an autorun dir: mkdir autorun
* And create a symlink in it: ln -s ../twirssi.pl autorun

In irssi:

* If you don't already have a twitter window, create a new window: /win new hidden
* Name the new window: /win name twitter
* In that window type: /script load twirssi.pl
* Login: /twitter_login username
