How to install Tweepy

First, check your Python version with python3 --version or python --version on console (terminal/shell/command prompt).

If you don't have Python 3 installed (if the above command fails):

Install Python 3 on your computer (https://www.python.org/downloads/).

If you have Python 3.6, you can just run:

pip3 install tweepy

If you have Python 3.7, run the following instead:

pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git@2efe385fc69385b57733f747ee62e6be12a1338b

If the above command doesn't work, try replacing pip3 with pip also.

If you have Python 3.7 and want to use pipenv, use:

pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git@2efe385fc69385b57733f747ee62e6be12a1338b#egg=tweepy
