In this tutorial, we will learn how to install reader, an open-source RSS reader from GitHub. We will install it on Debian Latest operating system.
Before we start the installation process, we need to have the following things:
First, we need to install some dependencies required for reader installation. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install git npm build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev
This command will also update your Debian package manager to get the latest version of packages.
After installing the required dependencies, we need to clone the reader repository from GitHub. To do that, you can run the following command.
git clone https://github.com/lemon24/reader.git
This command will download the whole repository in your current directory.
We have downloaded the repository successfully. Now, we need to install the Node.js dependencies of the reader. To do that, move to the reader directory and run the following commands:
cd reader
npm install
This command will install all the required dependencies to run the reader on our Debian machine.
After installing the Node.js dependencies, we need to build the reader bundle. To do that, run the following command inside the reader directory:
npm run build
This command will build the bundle of reader.
Finally, we are ready to run the reader. Run the following command to run the reader:
npm run start
This command will start the server and we can access the reader by visiting http://localhost:8080.
Reader installation is complete. In this tutorial, we have learned how to install reader from GitHub on Debian Latest operating system. Now you can use this reader to read news and articles.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
