In this tutorial, we will show you how to install NewsDash, a simple and lightweight news aggregator, on MXLinux Latest. NewsDash is available on GitHub and is written in Python.
Prerequisites:
First, we need to install Git to clone the NewsDash repository from GitHub. Open the terminal on your MXLinux and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
In this step, we will clone the NewsDash repository using Git. Enter the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/buzz/newsdash.git
This command will download the NewsDash repository into your current working directory.
In this step, we will install the dependencies required by NewsDash using pip3. Enter the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
pip3 install -r /path/to/newsdash/requirements.txt
Replace /path/to/newsdash/ with the actual path to the NewsDash directory.
In this final step, we will run NewsDash. Enter the following command in your terminal:
python3 /path/to/newsdash/newsdash.py
Replace /path/to/newsdash/ with the actual path to the NewsDash directory.
Now, you should see NewsDash running on the terminal. You can customize the sources from where NewsDash fetches news by editing the sources.yml file located in the NewsDash directory.
