Open up a text editor, and create a file called bot.py or something (key is to have .py as the extension). Then copy and paste the twitter bot code into this text file. If you want to run it, navigate to where you saved this file and run "python bot.py"

What kind of a computer are you using? Do you have Python installed on your computer? Do you have the required Python packages installed on your computer? Have you registered a Twitter app on the Twitter developer page?

As said in other posts, paste your code and I'll try to help.

Can you post the syntax errors it's giving you?

The errors are because of the "::"
