Troubleshooting

This script was written and tested on ubuntu linux. The most common issue is the shebang (#!) at the top of the file pointing to the wrong location for ruby

To test this, run the application from the command line with 5 arguments like this: './hellatweet.rb test my hellatweet script output'

You will get an unknown interpreter error if the shebang is wrong. To fix this, just type 'which ruby' on the command line and replace /usr/bin/ruby at the top of the file with the output of that command
