EDIT : corrected .bashrc to bash_profile wrongly referenced in the first place ;(

Hi!

You can open your bash_profile file (located in your home folder but hidden) and add the following

## This is the tiny-care-terminal configuration variables
# List of accounts to read the last tweet from, comma separated
# The first in the list is read by the party parrot.
export TTC_BOTS='tinycarebot,selfcare_bot,magicrealismbot'

# List of folders to look into for `git` commits, comma separated.
export TTC_REPOS='~/Documents/Github'

# Location/zip code to check the weather for. Both 90210 and "San Francisco, CA"
# should be ok. It's using weather.service.msn.com behind the curtains.
export TTC_WEATHER='Athens'

# Set to false if you're an imperial savage. <3
export TTC_CELSIUS=true

# Unset this if you _don't_ want to use Twitter keys and want to
# use web scraping instead.
export TTC_APIKEYS=true

# Refresh the dashboard every 20 minutes.
export TTC_UPDATE_INTERVAL=10

# Twitter api keys
export CONSUMER_KEY='...'
export CONSUMER_SECRET='...'
export ACCESS_TOKEN='...'
export ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET='...'

You can check if they are working in the terminal

$ printenv | grep TTC_*
TTC_BOTS=tinycarebot,selfcare_bot,magicrealismbot
TTC_APIKEYS=true
TTC_WEATHER=Athens
TTC_CELSIUS=true
TTC_UPDATE_INTERVAL=10
TTC_REPOS=~/Documents/Github

Then open tiny-care-dashboard

$ tiny-care-dashboard

Hope this helps a bit.

After following this guide and creating the .bashrcfile my self and pasting the configuration lines.. still doesn't work 😔 i mean the app works but cant configure it.

$ printenv | grep TTC_* returns nothing but $ printenv does return some other configurations.

If you place it in bash_profile it seems to work.

I'll add a couple more instructions where to put these variables. Thanks!
