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.
