image How did you manage to run this script. I'm not a programmer, for some reason I get this error.

usage: twitter-dl [-h] [-c CONFIDENTIAL] [-s {large,medium,small,thumb,orig}] [--video] [--nophoto] [-l LIMIT] [--rts] [--thread-number THREAD_NUMBER] [--coro-number CORO_NUMBER] [--since SID] [--tweet] [--list] [--file] resource_id dest

Download all images and/or videos uploaded by a twitter user you specify

positional arguments: resource_id An ID of a twitter user. Also accept user id files, list or tweet id. dest Specify where to put images/videos

like the minimum you got to give is is e.g. a twitterhandle and a destination(-folder) to put the resources in al the other stuff is optional. it's very clear in the readme

And yet I did not understand anything. 😭 In what order should it be done. In what order are the commands entered?

there is an example shown isn't there? aka: in the order shown. (the optional arguments - each are everything between [ ] - can be swapped, but to make it dummy-proof for you: in the order shown)

just use the arguments you need, and don't use the ones you don't need... never used the commandline? youtube prob has some nice guides on that. else commandline tools aren't for you, and you should google for a tool with a gui.

conclusion: readme is clear enough, your knowledge isn't good enough to understand it. (somethings do require at least some knowledge or effort)
