The Epube is a plugin for Tiny Tiny RSS (TT-RSS) which allows you to download articles in the EPUB format. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install The Epube on Kali Linux.
Before installing The Epube, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install php5-cli php5-curl php5-gd zip
Next, we will download The Epube plugin to our system. Run the following commands one by one to download and extract the plugin:
cd ~
mkdir ttrss-plugins
cd ttrss-plugins
git clone https://github.com/KindOne/ttrss_plugin-epube.git
cd ttrss_plugin-epube
Once we have downloaded the plugin, we need to add it to our TT-RSS instance. Run the following commands to copy the plugin to the TT-RSS plugins directory:
sudo cp -r epube /var/www/html/tt-rss/plugins.local/
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/tt-rss/plugins.local/epube
After installing The Epube plugin, we need to configure it to work properly. Open your TT-RSS instance in your web browser and go to the preferences menu. In there, choose the "Plugins" tab and enable the epube plugin.
Next, go to the "Feeds" section and edit the RSS feed that you want to download in EPUB format. In the "Plugin Data" field, add the following configuration:
epube,publish_date,author
This will enable The Epube plugin to download the article in EPUB format, along with the publish date and author.
The Epube plugin is now installed and configured. To test it, go to the feed that you configured in Step 4 and click on one of the articles. You should see an "EPUB" icon next to the "Save" icon. Click on the EPUB icon to download the article in EPUB format.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install The Epube plugin on Kali Linux and make it work with your TT-RSS instance. Now, you can download articles in the EPUB format and read them offline.
