To begin using this tool, make sure your current directory is the tweetalytics repository and type in the following command:

irb -r ./Run.rb

There are two ways to collect tweets: first, by specifying a bounding box, which is an array that consists of bottom-left-longitude, bottom-left-latitude, top-right-longitude, and top-right-latitude coordinates, and second, by specifying a certain keyword you want to track.

Use the collect function and specify how many tweets you want, the name of the file you will create, and a bounding box.

For example:

> collect(25, "tweets", United_States)

Use the collect function and specify how many tweets you want, the name of the file you will create, and the keyword.

For example:

> collect(25, "tweets", "obama")

The next thing to do is to load the tweets you just collected into Ruby.

For example:

> tweets = load("tweets")

Now process the tweets you just loaded in.

For example:

> processed_text = process(tweets)

or if you don't want to process the tweets:

> raw_text = get_raw_text(tweets)

Then analyze the tweets.

For example:

> character_statistics = character_analysis(raw_text)

For example:

> most_popular_words = top_words(5, processed_text)

• Use the post function and specify your tweet.

For example:

>>> post("Hello World!")
