This application does not work at all

[delphinus334]

Ubuntu 22.04
Made several attempts to install the application but it doesn't work as it should, way too much hassle. Switched to twitter on web browser. Disappointing application. Not worth the trouble.

Sudo pip3 install rainbowstream

~$ sudo pip3 install rainbowstream

Same with ENV installation. Does not work either.

Uninstalled the package. Not worth the trouble.

lol @ running install as root user.

Go have a look here and follow the installation instructions carefully. It certainly does work and as someone above mentioned, you don't run the thing as root user.
https://pypi.org/project/rainbowstream/

Also go here: https://docs.python-guide.org/dev/virtualenvs/ to understand how to install Pipenv & Virtual Environments. Don't give up so quickly. Good luck.
