Prerequisites

• A server running Fedora Server Latest
• SSH access to the server
• A non-root user with sudo privileges

Step 1: Update Your System

Before you start with the installation process, it is recommended to update your system to the latest version. Log in to your server via SSH and run the following command:

sudo dnf update

This will update your system to the latest packages available.

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Next, you need to install some required dependencies to run NewsBlur on your server. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

sudo dnf install git java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel python3 virtualenvwrapper

• git is required to download the NewsBlur source code from GitHub.
• java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel is required to run the JVM-based programming language NewsBlur runs on.
• python3 is required to run the Python-based backend of NewsBlur.
• virtualenvwrapper is required to create a virtual environment for the Python-based backend.

Step 3: Download NewsBlur

Once you have installed the required dependencies, you need to download the NewsBlur source code from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur.git

This will download the NewsBlur source code into the current directory.

Step 4: Install Python Dependencies

In this step, we will install the Python dependencies required to run the NewsBlur backend. Change the directory to the NewsBlur source code directory and run the following command to create a virtual environment for Python:

cd NewsBlur
mkvirtualenv newsblur

Now activate the virtual environment by running the following command:

workon newsblur

Next, install the required Python dependencies using the following command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

This will install all the required Python dependencies to run the NewsBlur backend.

Step 5: Setup NewsBlur

Before you can run NewsBlur, you need to setup its configuration. Copy the default configuration file using the following command:

cp newsblur/local_settings.py.default newsblur/local_settings.py

Now edit the local_settings.py file and set the following parameters:

• SECRET_KEY: Set a unique secret key for your NewsBlur installation.
• DATABASES['default']: Set your database credentials.
• NEWSBLUR_URL: Set the URL of your NewsBlur installation.
• EMAIL_*: Set your email credentials for password reset and newsletter emails.

Save and exit the file once you are done.
