Hi,
<snip> I'm not actually sure it matters if you know how Twitter works. I think it's just how do I get a huge html file to read and play about with without having to open a browser or have a still active account (if Twitter does go up in metaphorical flames.) I may be wrong.
But your original link had commands that were given as instructions, did you try them? Step 3 gets you to copy the Github python script from your link into your unzipped Twitter data folder, and then step 4 gets you to run that python script from within that folder.
<snip> Yes, I did, but see below.
Yes, it is possible to run a command within a folder. In fact, aren't we doing that any time we run commands on the command line? We always have a current working directory (folder). Usually it is in your /home/<username> but can be anywhere. All step 4 asks you to do is to run that python script from within the folder that contains your extracted Twitter data.
This is where I get stuck. I think I've got the location but Terminal says it can't find it and I've tried several times. (And humour me here. Is that what it means by running a script in a folder? Typing in the folder location then asking the script to run?)
