How to use

Preparation before starting the script

1. Open the folder where you saved the repository
2. Open the "vote.py" file

• change your your MentiMeter-ID (idCode = "")
• change the time in seconds you want to wait before posting (wait_seconds = "")
• change the word-list you want to post (words = [""];

3. Save "vote.py"

Running the script

1. Open a CMD/Powershell and change to the repository (cd "<Path/to/MentiMeter.py>")
