How to Install Sismics Reader on EndeavourOS Latest

Sismics Reader is a web-based RSS reader that allows you to read and manage your RSS feeds in a simple and clean interface. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Sismics Reader on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Download Sismics Reader

Sismics Reader is not available in the official EndeavourOS Latest repository. Therefore, we need to download it from the official website.

To download Sismics Reader, open the web browser and navigate to the following URL:

https://www.sismics.com/reader/

Step 2: Extract the Archive

After downloading Sismics Reader, the downloaded file should be in the Downloads directory. To extract the archive, navigate to the Downloads directory in the terminal and enter the following command:

tar -xvf sismics-reader-<version>.tar.gz

Replace with the downloaded version of Sismics Reader.

This command will create a new directory called sismics-reader-<version>.

Step 3: Install Apache Web Server

Sismics Reader is a web-based application that requires a web server to function correctly. In this tutorial, we will use the Apache web server.

To install Apache, open the terminal and enter the following command:

sudo pacman -S apache

After Apache is installed, start the Apache service using the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd

To enable the Apache service to start automatically at system boot, enter the following command:

sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 4: Configure Apache Web Server

After installing the Apache web server, we need to configure it to serve Sismics Reader.

First, navigate to the Apache configuration directory by entering the following command:

cd /etc/httpd/conf

Next, create a new configuration file by entering the following command:

sudo nano httpd-sismics-reader.conf

In the new configuration file, enter the following:

Alias /sismics-reader /home/<user>/Downloads/sismics-reader-<version>
<Directory /home/<user>/Downloads/sismics-reader-<version>>
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Replace <user> with your username and <version> with the downloaded version of Sismics Reader.

Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, Y, and ENTER.

Next, we need to include the new configuration file in Apache's main configuration file. To do this, open the Apache configuration file by entering the following command:

sudo nano httpd.conf

Add the following line to the end of the file:

Include conf/httpd-sismics-reader.conf

Save and close the file.

Finally, restart the Apache service to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 5: Accessing Sismics Reader

Now that we have installed and configured Sismics Reader, we can access it using a web browser.

To access Sismics Reader, open a web browser and navigate to the following URL:

http://localhost/sismics-reader

You should now be able to access the Sismics Reader interface.
