LibreNews is a decentralized news platform that aims to provide an alternative to traditional news outlets. Here's how to install it on Manjaro:
First, go to the official LibreNews website at https://librenews.io/ and click the "Download" button. Choose the appropriate version for your Manjaro system (e.g., 64-bit or 32-bit), and save the package to your computer.
Before installing the package, you need to make sure that all the required dependencies are installed on your system. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git nodejs yarn
This command will install the Git version control system, the Node.js JavaScript runtime, and the Yarn package manager.
Next, navigate to the directory where you saved the LibreNews package and extract it using the following command:
tar -xvf librenews-*.tar.gz
Replace * with the version number of the package you downloaded. This will extract the contents of the package to a new directory called librenews.
Navigate to this directory using the following command:
cd librenews
Finally, run the installation command with the following:
./install.sh
This script will install all the required dependencies and launch the LibreNews client.
To launch LibreNews, simply open a terminal and run the following command from the librenews directory:
yarn run start
This will start the LibreNews client and open it in your default web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed LibreNews on your Manjaro system.
