Out of the box the package isn't compatible with Umbraco 7. But someone has be able to get it work with Umbraco 7.1.4. Maybe you can try to do the same and see if you can get it to work with Umbraco 7.1.8.
I was able to install the package to Umbraco 7.1.8. by download the package unzip it add the dll file from the post above and zip it again, and the run the install local package process.
I have not tried to add consumerkey/secret and accessToken/secret.
uTweets in Umbraco 7.1.8
I am trying to get uTweets working in my 7.1.8 install -
I initially had a problem with Newtonsoft.Json, but updated the binary to the latest version and could install the project successfully.
I have added all the necessary keys to the dictionary, and tried to add the LatestTweet macro. In the macro script, the following code is used:
var t = new uTweets.Tweets();
var result = t.GetTweets();
However, result is returned null. When using
var user = t.GetUser();
user is also null.
Any help to get uTweets working would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the reply. I have installed the package locally and installation succeeded.
However, the problem lies in the retrieval of data from the API - I now think this issue could be related to a proxy server within our network.
I can confirm that the uTweets package works perfectly with 7.1.8 when using the steps described by Stuart here:

I have installed Umbraco and uTweets on my home machine and everything is great - my earlier issue will have been down to restricted network settings.
Hi Phil,
Great to hear that you got it working.
