Yarr is a minimalist RSS reader for your desktop that supports keyboard shortcuts and integrates with your system's notification center. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Yarr on EndeavourOS latest using the command line.
To complete this tutorial, you will need:
Before we proceed with installing Yarr, we first need to make sure that Git is installed on our system. Git is a popular version control system that will help us clone Yarr's source code from Github.
To install Git in EndeavourOS, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
Now that Git is installed on our system, we can go ahead and clone Yarr's source code from Github.
To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr.git
This will create a new directory called yarr in your current directory, containing Yarr's source code.
Before we can run Yarr, we need to install its dependencies. To do this, we can use the pip package manager.
First, install pip by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S python-pip
Now that pip is installed, we can use it to install Yarr's dependencies. To do this, navigate to the yarr directory and run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Once all the dependencies are installed, we can now run Yarr. To do this, navigate to the yarr directory and run the following command:
python yarr.py
This will launch Yarr. You can now start using it to subscribe to RSS feeds and read your favorite blog posts and news articles.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Yarr on EndeavourOS latest using the command line. By now, you should have a fully functional copy of Yarr running on your system.
