@dorward I will watch it and try what you demo. Thanks very much for helping me.

@dorward I've now watched and tried it. Watching told me that I should probably have been dragging the folder with the code to Terminal. But when I did exactly as you did, it told me that "python" is an invalid command. So then I tried using the command that the Python runner I downloaded yesterday for my Mac suggested, but Terminal responded "can't find '__main__' module in '/Users/lizl/Downloads/twitter-archive-parser-main'." Not sure what else to try. Thanks again for trying to help me.

@dorward Just want to add that today I tried again and figured out the other spot where I'd been going wrong and used your video to finally successfully extract my tweets. Thanks again for helping the many of us who are less programming savvy!

@dorward @lizl_genealogy Hi David. Thanks for this tutorial. I think I'm getting close, but when attempting to run parser.py I'm getting the following error line 36 f' Error: This script requires Python 3.6 or later.' ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax I just downloaded Python 3.11 so I'm wondering what I should do?
