I have never used that package, but the error message seems clear. You need to
use the correct arguments to the setup_twitter_oauth function, and that
requires that you interact with twitter parsonally to obtain appropriate
credentials. While someone here may be able to give you a pointer as to how to
do that, Google is probably a more appropriate way to start learning about that
because it involves a legal agreement between you and twitter and has nothing
to do with R and we are not lawyers representing twitter or you.
