Installing the TweetDeck is the easiest part.
Go to TweetDeck page and install it.

Enjoy in TweetDeck

# apt-get install bzr

When Bazaar is installed downoad the Gwibber code to your folder:
# bzr branch lp:gwibber

Now let’s get the dependacies. Gwibber uses the following dependacies:

* python (2.5)

* python-dbus (0.80.2)

* python-gtk2 (2.10.4)

* python-gconf (2.18.0)

* python-notify (0.1.1)

* python-webkitgtk (1.0.1)

* python-simplejson (1.9.1)

* python-egenix-mxdatetime (3.0.0)

* python-distutils-extra

* python-feedparser (4.1)

First let’s get python-webkitgtk beacuse you can’t apt-get it Download it from the following URL:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/python-webkit

This is for the i386 arch:

# wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/pool/main/p/pywebkitgtk/python-webkit_1.0.2-1_i386.deb

# dpkg -i python-webkit_1.0.2-1_i386.deb

It still needs few dependacies so run;
# apt-get -f install

and you will have python-webkit installed.

now
# apt-get install python-dbus python-gtk2 python-notify python-simplejson python-egenix-mxdatetime python-distutils-extra python-feedparser

And now your dependacies are installed and you can run the main install.py script from the gwibber source folder.

# python setup.py install

Wait for it to install it and that is it. Enjoy in gwibber everybody

UPDATE:
If you get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/gwibber”, line 55, in
from gwibber.client import GwibberClient

$ apt-get install python-mako

# cd into dir where bzr put source / setup files
cd gwibber

# run setup script
