LibreNews is a web-based news aggregator that makes it easy to keep up with the latest news and headlines from your favorite sources. If you want to try out LibreNews on Linux Mint, follow these steps to get started:
First, go to the LibreNews website and download the latest version of the software. You should see a download link on the homepage. Click on it to download the installation package.
Once you've downloaded the installation package, you need to extract its contents. You can do this by right-clicking on the package file and selecting "Extract Here" from the menu. This will create a new folder with the same name as the package file.
Next, you'll need to open a terminal window. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard, or by searching for "Terminal" in the application menu.
In the terminal window, use the cd command to navigate to the folder where you extracted the LibreNews installation package. For example, if you extracted the package to your home folder, you would enter the following command:
cd ~/librenews-1.0.0
LibreNews requires some dependencies that may not be installed on your system by default. To install them, enter the following command in the terminal window:
sudo apt-get install nodejs nodejs-dev npm
Now, you're ready to start the LibreNews server. To do this, execute the following command in the terminal window:
npm start
This will start the server and open LibreNews in your default browser. Congratulations! You have successfully installed LibreNews on Linux Mint.
