• download the verion that matches computer's operating system fromlatest release
• open a terminal in the directory where the file was downloaded
• for example assume the file name isx_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
• remove any previous downloaded version of x

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/x

• run the following command to extract the file

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf x_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz

• Add/usr/local/x to the PATH environment variable
• Do this by adding the following line to your $HOME/.profile or /etc/profile (for a system-wide installation):

# opening the filenano$HOME/.profile# and add this line at the end of the fileexport PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/x

• run the following command to update the current session

source$HOME/.profile

• verify the installation by running the following command

x version

• if the installation was successful, you should see the version of x that was installed

• download the verion that matches your archeticture fromlatest release
• extract the file and get thex.exe file and place it in a directory that is in your PATH environment variable. a common one isC:\Windows\system32
• open a terminal and runx --version to verify the installation
• if the installation was successful, you should see the version of x that was installed

• idk never used it before. but I have darwin binaries in thelatest release so you can try it out

• runx auth
• an auth url will be opened in your browser, if it doesn't runx auth --url to get the url
• verifyX CLI in the opened twitter page
• after authorizing the app return to the terminal and runx auth -v

Note: runningx auth -v windows might flag the tool as a threat this is because it reads a config file that was previously generatedhere to identify the user by a random string that's unique for your device. you can check the functionhere. so if the threat shows up, allow it and continue.

• if the authorization was successful, you should see averified message
• now you can post tweets usingx -t "tweet text"
• if anything went wrong runx -c to clear any settings and start over
• if the problem persists, kindly open an issuehere and describe the problem and I'll be happy to help!

x -t "tweet text" orx --tweet "tweet text" orx "hi there!" or even one word tweet likex spotifyURL
