Click File > New > Project….

In the New Project window, under Installed cascade from Other Languages to Python and click HANA Express.

Note:
The Category Other Languages may not appear on the list. Go straight to the Python category if you see it.

For this project select HANA Express Tweets Analysis Application. Choose a name and save location for your project and then click OK.

Note:
This project requires some external packages. Follow the prompt to install these packages and then continue with the tutorial.

At the top of the Microsoft Visual Studio window, select View and then click Solution Explorer. The Solution Explorer window opens.

Note:
This application is compatible with Python version 3.6 and later. If you have multiple Python environments, you will need to set the appropriate environment and load the corresponding SAP HANA client driver libraries in the Solution Explorer window.

To generate the word map, you require the proper Twitter credentials (listed below). Set up the credentials on the Twitter Applications page.

* Twitter username
* Consumer Key
* Consumer Secret
* Access Key
* Access Secret

You need these values for the next step.

In the HANATweetsAnalysis.py script, edit the following section to include your Twitter API credentials:

TWEET_USERNAME = "tweet_username"
CONSUMER_KEY = "consumer_key"
CONSUMER_SECRET =  "consumer_secret"
ACCESS_KEY = "access_key"
ACCESS_SECRET = "access_secret"

Here is an example:

TWEET_USERNAME = "SAPInMemory"
CONSUMER_KEY = "Thisismyconsumerkey123"
CONSUMER_SECRET =  "Thisismyconsumersecret123"
ACCESS_KEY = "Thisismyaccesskey123"
ACCESS_SECRET = "Thisismyaccesssecret123"

Edit the following section to include your SAP HANA, express edition installation information:

HANA_HOST = "hana_host"
HANA_PORT = "hana_port"
HANA_USER = "hana_user"
HANA_PASSWORD = "hana_password"

Here is an example:

HANA_HOST = "my.HANA.host"
HANA_PORT = "39013"
HANA_USER = "SYSTEM"
HANA_PASSWORD = "HXEHana1"

To run the project, go to Debug at the top of the window. Click Start Without Debugging. A command prompt window opens and executes the program.

After a few moments, the word map for your Twitter account displays.
