Each of these 4 dependencies has an installer script that we'll need to run at a command prompt to install the software. '''It is important that the dependencies are installed in the order listed above.''' For each project, start a command prompt and navigate to the Desktop directory where the source code lives. For example, if the httplib2-0.6.0 project was extracted to /home/jesstess/Desktop/Twitter/httplib2-0.6.0,

cd /home/jesstess/Desktop/Twitter/httplib2-0.6.0

#* http://web.mit.edu/jesstess/www/BostonPythonWorkshop6/Twitter/Twitter.ziptar.gz

#Find Twitter.ziptar.gz on your Desktop and double-click on it to "unzipextract" it. That will create a folder called Twitter containing several files.
