Quick query. When you say ‘no file found’ - are you referring to the error message from the script: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser/blob/fed2c380042b79a74a4...
You need to have your twitter -export zip file in the same folder.

Help, please.
OK, Looking at https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser
1 & 2 Download your twitter archive. It'll be a zip file. Assuming br/>it's in the download directory. You'll neeed to extract it so it expands br/>into normal files in folders.&nbssp; Usually the simplest way is to right br/>click and click somethinng like "Extract here". If the file was called br/>""Archive.zip", the folder would likely be called Archive, off your br/>DDownloads folder. You could extract this somewhere else if you wanted br/>too. I'm assuming it's in /home/bev/Downloads/Archive <
3. Right click on parser.py on that webpage. Use "save as" and make br/>sure it's saved in /home/bev/Downloads/Archivee (or wherever else you br/>put the archive). If you couldn't uuse save-as, then download it, find br/>it, then move it. <
4. Open a command prompt/terminal window. Do cd /home/bev/Downloads/Archive (or replace with whichever directory you chose). They want you to run it with python3, so I would try python3 parser.py.
failing that do python parser.py
That, I think, is all there is to it.
I hope that helps. Steve _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe send an email to main-leave@lists.alug.org.uk http://www.alug.org.uk/ Unsubscribe? See message headers or the web site above!
