You need to create an alias for your localhost because Twitter needs real domain for its OAuth 1.0.

$ cat /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1    localhost
127.0.0.1    yourlocalhostalias.com

Create a Twitter OAuth application at https://apps.twitter.com/

Create config.js from config-template.js and fill-out all the credentials of your newly created Twitter app.

$ cp ./config-template.js ./config.js
$ vim ./config.js

Install dependencies.

$ npm install

Run the app.

$ node ./app.js

Navigate to your domain alias with your browser, enter search terms and watch tweets.
