 9 | ### How to use
10 | * Star and download the repository
11 | * run `npm install` to install the needed dependencies
12 | * Copy the file `config.default.js`, rename it to `config.js` and then change its values - this file will store the configuration details for the Twitter API. 
13 | 
14 | The structure should be the following:
15 | ```js
16 | module.exports = {
17 |   consumer_key: '',
18 |   consumer_secret: '',
19 |   access_token_key: '',
20 |   access_token_secret: ''
21 | }
22 | ```
23 | 
24 | * Visit the [Twitter API](https://apps.twitter.com/app/new) and fill out the form. When done, click on the _Keys and Access Tokens_ tab to view your consumer key/secret and access token key/secret. Copy these keys/secrets into your `config.js` file.
25 | * In `app.js` you can edit the `params` variable to determine what to search for:
26 | ```
27 | var params = {
28 |   q: 'SEARCH_QUERY_HERE', //search query
29 |   count: 10, //number of tweets to return
30 |   result_type: 'recent', //shows recent tweets
31 |   lang: 'en' //language English
32 | }
33 | ```
34 | 
35 | * Now we're ready! Open up the command prompt and type `npm start` to run the application.
