Requirements and Installation

Raspberry Pi

I recommend using setup.sh script to set up your environment on Raspbian OS. This script automatically create python environment and install sqlite3 client app.

$ sudo bash ./src/setup.py

I tested this script on Raspberry Pi 3 ModelB (Raspbian Stretch with Desktop). The following show what to do in this script.

Installing python modules

$ pip install feedparser
$ pip install pyyaml
$ pip install slackclient
$ pip install tweepy

Installing sqlite3 client app(Option)

If you want to see stored data from a GUI, I recommend you to install sqlite3 client app named DB Browser for SQLite.

$ sudo apt-get install sqlitebrowser
