In this tutorial, we will be learning how to install NewsDash, a news aggregator tool from GitHub, on Elementary OS latest version.
Before we proceed with the installation, we need a few things.
Open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T. Then, type the following command to update the package list:
sudo apt update
Next, install Git with the following command:
sudo apt install git
Once Git is installed, we will clone the NewsDash repository from GitHub. Type the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/buzz/newsdash.git
This will download the NewsDash source code to a directory named newsdash.
Before we can start using NewsDash, we need to install the required Python dependencies. In the terminal, navigate to the newsdash directory using the following command:
cd newsdash
Then, execute the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
After the installation is complete, we can now start the NewsDash server. In the terminal, navigate to the newsdash directory if you are not already there using the following command:
cd newsdash
Once inside the directory, start NewsDash with the following command:
python app.py
This will start the NewsDash server and you can now access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install NewsDash from GitHub on Elementary OS latest version. With NewsDash, you can stay up-to-date with the latest news and events from various sources in one convenient location.
