To set up an X developer account and obtain the necessary keys, follow these steps:

1. **Create an X Developer Account:**
   - Go to the X Developer website: https://developer.x.com/
   - Sign in with your X account or create a new one if you don't have an account.
   - Apply for a developer account by providing the required information about your intended use of the X API.

2. **Create a Project and App:**
   - Once your developer account is approved, log in to the X Developer portal.
   - Navigate to the "Projects & Apps" section and create a new project.
   - Within the project, create a new app. This app will be used to generate the necessary API keys and tokens.
   - You'll get a client id and client secret, but you can ignore them.

3. **Generate API Keys, Tokens, and Client Credentials:**
   - After creating the app, navigate to the "Keys and tokens" tab.
   - Generate the following keys, tokens, and client credentials:
     - **API Key (Consumer Key)**
     - **API Secret Key (Consumer Secret)**
     - **Bearer Token**
     - **Access Token**
     - **Access Token Secret**

4. **Set Environment Variables:**
   - Export the generated keys, tokens, and client credentials as environment variables in your system or provide them as arguments to the `XTools` constructor.
     - `X_CONSUMER_KEY`
     - `X_CONSUMER_SECRET`
     - `X_ACCESS_TOKEN`
     - `X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET`
     - `X_BEARER_TOKEN`
