Create a local folder to configure streams

Pick a place on your file system that’s easy to remember and reference with an absolution path.

Create a new empty folder there and export the path to a variables.

mkdir ~/streams
export STREAMS=$(cd ~streams; pwd)

Next, create a configuration file to hold secrets for your streams to use.

cd $STREAMS
touch reference.conf

To get started, put the following into reference.conf

twitter {
    oauth {
        consumerKey = ""
        consumerSecret = ""
        accessToken = ""
        accessTokenSecret = ""
    }
}

Visit developer.twitter.com and create an application to obtain the above fields.

The consumerKey and consumerSecret are application-wide.

The accessToken and accessTokenSecret are per-user. They can be obtained by navigating to:
