|
|
|
| * You must have obtained API keys from Twitter, and installed them according to
|
| the instructions in the `twitter HOWTO <https://www.nltk.org/howto/twitter.html>`_.
|
|

| * If you are on a slow network, some of the calls to the Twitter API may

|
|
|
| * Your terminal window / console must be able to display UTF-8 encoded characters.
