git pull https://github.com/dustinblackman/s.git
cd ./s
make install

Configuration

Configuration for social networks can be done by setting the required keys in your environment variables, but it's also possible to pass them in as parameters. See s --help for more details.

Twitter:

Creating a twitter application can be done here. You can then generate keys and save them in your environment variables.

export TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=""
export TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=""
export TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=""
export TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET=""

Facebook:

Create an application on Facebook here. Afterwards use the Graph explorer to create a user access token that has the publish_actions scope. You can extend the life of the key by clicking the I next to the token to open the access token tools.

export FACEBOOK_APP_KEY=""
export FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET=""
export FACEBOOK_USER_TOKEN=""

Alfred Workflows

Alfred workflows are available here which allows you to use S directly from Alfred. Due to S needing access to environment variables for configuration, there are two editions to the work flows for bash and zsh.
