#How to Install Feedpushr on Elementary OS Latest
##Introduction
Feedpushr is an open-source RSS feed aggregator and forwarder. The application is written in Go and can be run on a variety of platforms including Linux, macOS, and Windows.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Feedpushr on the latest version of Elementary OS.
##Prerequisites
Before we start with the installation, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
##Step 1: Install Git
First, we need to install Git, which is a version control system used to download source code from Github.
To install Git, open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
You may be prompted to enter your password to authenticate the installation.
##Step 2: Clone the Feedpushr Repository
Now that Git is installed, we can clone the repository from Github.
To clone the Feedpushr repository, open the terminal and enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ncarlier/feedpushr
This will create a new directory called feedpushr in your current working directory and download the necessary files from Github.
##Step 3: Install the Go Programming Language
As mentioned earlier, Feedpushr is written in Go, so we need to install the Go programming language.
To install Go, open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install golang
This will install the Go programming language on your system.
##Step 4: Build and Install Feedpushr
Now that we have all the necessary prerequisites installed, we can build and install Feedpushr.
Navigate to the feedpushr directory by using the following command:
cd feedpushr
Next, we need to build the binary by entering the following command:
make build
This will create a binary called feedpushr in the build directory.
Finally, we can install the binary by running the following command:
sudo make install
This will install Feedpushr in the /usr/local/bin directory.
##Step 5: Create a Configuration File
Before we can use Feedpushr, we need to create a configuration file. A configuration file is used to specify the RSS feeds that we want to aggregate and forward.
To create a configuration file, navigate to the /etc/feedpushr directory by entering the following command:
cd /etc/feedpushr
Next, create a new file called config.toml by entering the following command:
sudo nano config.toml
This will open the Nano text editor. Copy and paste the following code into the editor:
# Feedpushr Configuration File
[log]
level = "debug"
[[feed]]
url = "https://www.example.com/feed.xml"
forward_url = "https://www.example.com/forward"
This will configure Feedpushr to fetch the RSS feed from https://www.example.com/feed.xml and forward it to https://www.example.com/forward.
Replace the sample configuration with your own RSS feed URLs and forward URLs.
Once you have edited the configuration file, press CTRL + X to exit Nano and save the changes.
##Step 6: Start Feedpushr
Now that we have configured Feedpushr, we can start it by entering the following command:
sudo systemctl start feedpushr
This will start the Feedpushr service.
To check the status of Feedpushr, enter the following command:
sudo systemctl status feedpushr
This will display the current status of the service.
##Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Feedpushr on Elementary OS Latest. You can now start aggregating and forwarding RSS feeds.
