Twint: Unable to install twint

Make sure you've checked the following:

• [v] Python version is 3.6;

(python36) Reeses-Air:~ reesetou$ python --version
Python 3.6.8 :: Anaconda, Inc.

  I got the following warnings and errors:

    clang: warning: libstdc++ is deprecated; move to libc++ with a minimum deployment target of OS X 10.9 [-Wdeprecated]

Environment Details

Using Windows, Linux? What OS version? Running this in Anaconda? Jupyter Notebook? Terminal?

OS Mojave Version 10.14.2
Using the terminal to run in Anaconda3 virtual environment

I have reasons to believe that's not related to Twint, ld: library not found for -lstdc++

Maybe it's a compatibility issue with Anaconda environment

[reesiecup]

I have tried to uninstall Anaconda entirely and install twint but I always got the same error message.

I also tried to use git to install it but I got this error when I ran pip3 install -r requirements.txt in terminal:

Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt'

Any suggestions?

[pielco11]

requirements.txt is a file in the repo. You have to clone the repo first

[reesiecup]

I did clone the repo first, but the terminal showed me the error in the previous comment when I ran the requirement command.

I later found out that the problem came from Xcode 10.1, and I followed this post (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52509602/cant-compile-c-program-on-a-mac-after-upgrade-to-mojave) to fix it.

Now twint is installed and running. Thanks!

Great to know!

I'm going to close this issue since it has been solved

Enjoy Twint as much as possible!
