I'm very new to coding, so maybe this is a dumb question, but I keep getting the error module not install - twitter, but I installed it through pip, and when I run pip list, twitter is on there.
Also, are there installation instructions I can follow anywhere?

In the base folder run pip install -r requirements.txt that will install all the required dependencies globally.

I reinstalled everything by hand since -r requirements.txt kept failing. Also, on run_tacker.sh, what should I be putting for cs and source?

In the example:

cd /home/pi/AboveTustin
source py3/bin/activate

So cd would be where you have the AboveTustin folder located, and the source is to activate the virtual env that should have been made.

So, basically,

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Create a python virtual environment inside that new cloned folder python3 -m venv venv
  3. Then run source venv/bin/activate
  4. Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt if that fails python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  5. Once pip has installed the required deps type deactivate
  6. In the run_tracker.sh file edit the line cd /home/pi/AboveTustin to match where the folder is located
  7. Edit the source line to match the location of the virtual environment is; eg /home/pi/AboveTustin/venv/bin/activate
  8. chmod +x run_tracker.sh (this makes the file executable, may require sudo)
  9. Copy the config.sample.ini file with cp config.sample.ini config.ini
  10. Edit the new config.ini file with details for you accounts, latitude and longitude, which driver, etc
  11. then ./run_tracker.sh and it should be working.

Think that is everything.
