# Setting up MX Puppet Twitter bridging (optional)
**Note**: bridging to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/) can also happen via the [mautrix-twitter](configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-twitter.md) bridge supported by the playbook.
The playbook can install and configure [mx-puppet-twitter](https://github.com/Sorunome/mx-puppet-twitter) for you.
See the project page to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
## Prerequisite
Make an app on [developer.twitter.com](https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps).
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable the [Twitter](https://twitter.com) bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_enabled: true
matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_consumer_key: ''
matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_consumer_secret: ''
matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_access_token: ''
matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_access_token_secret: ''
matrix_mx_puppet_twitter_environment: ''
```
## Installing
After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
```sh
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
```
**Notes**:
- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
## Usage
To use the bridge, you need to start a chat with `Twitter Puppet Bridge` with the handle `@_twitterpuppet_bot:example.com` (where `example.com` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
To log in, use `link` and click the link.
Once logged in, send `list` to the bot user to list the available rooms.
Clicking rooms in the list will result in you receiving an invitation to the bridged room.
Also send `help` to the bot to see the commands available.
