LibreNews is an independent news aggregator that's available for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Windows, and macOS. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install LibreNews on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we can install LibreNews, we need to make sure that the required dependencies are installed on our system. Here are the commands to install the dependencies:

With the dependencies installed, we can now build the Web Interface. Run this command to build the Web Interface:
npm run build
With the application and Web Interface built, we can now run LibreNews. Run the following command to start LibreNews:
