1.) Create a Twilio trial account here: https://www.twilio.com/try-twilio
    A trial account will only let you send to a single phone number. If you wish to send to more phone numbers, 
    consider upgrading your account

2.) Execute the following commands:

    MAC: You will need homebrew installed. If you need to install homebrew, visit https://brew.sh/

        Run the commands:
            brew tap twilio/brew && brew install twilio

            twilio login
            **After running this command, enter your account SID and Authentification token found on your Twilio account console

            pip install twilio

    WINDOWS: You will need Node.js, to install visit https://nodejs.org/en/download/

    LINUX: Before we can install, we need to make sure you have Node.js installed (version 10.12 or above). Even if you already         installed Node yourself, the CLI works best when you install it using nvm. Here's how to get nvm installed on most Linux systems:

        Run the commands:
            curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/master/install.sh | bash

            nvm install --lts
            nvm use <insert version reported from above>

            **Depending on your distribution, you will need to run one of the following commands:
                Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-dev
                Red Hat-based: sudo yum install libsecret-devel
                Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S libsecret

            npm install twilio-cli -g

            twilio login
            **After running this command, enter your account SID and Authentification token found on your Twilio account console

            pip install twilio
