Setup
- Make sure you have Cargo installed from rust-lang website. Make sure the Cargo binary folder is appended to your
$PATH
environment variable.
Copy default-config.toml
to a config.toml
file. Based on your OS, place the config file in the directories listed below. Any command line options/arguments taken from twt --help
(when the binary is eventually installed) will overwrite the corresponding value in the config file.
- Windows:
%appdata%\twt\config.toml
- Linux/MacOs:
~/.config/twt/config.toml
- Get an OAuth token from Twitch, and have it ready to put into the
token
variable in the config.toml
file that you created.
- Run
cargo install twitch-tui
and follow the instructions that it prints.
- You should now be able to run
twt
. For CLI options/arguments, run twt --help
for information. Any arguments/options passed through the command line will overwrite config.toml
. To update in the future, run cargo install twitch-tui
. Have fun!
