LibreNews is a modern and open source news reader application designed to offer an alternative to traditional news reader apps. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing LibreNews on NetBSD.
Before starting with the installation process, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
To get started, open your terminal and install Git using the following command:
pkgin update && pkgin install git
Once the Git is installed, use the following command to clone the LibreNews repository:
git clone https://github.com/librenews/librenews.git
LibreNews is built on Node.js, so you need to install Node.js on your system. You can download the latest version of Node.js from their website (https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
Alternatively, you can install Node.js using the following command:
pkgin install nodejs
Once you have installed Node.js, navigate to the librenews directory that you cloned in step 2 and install the required dependencies using the following command:
npm install
This command will download and install all the required dependencies of the LibreNews application.
Now that you have installed all the dependencies, you can start LibreNews by running the following command:
npm start
This command will start the LibreNews application on your NetBSD system, and you can access it by opening your web browser and visiting http://localhost:3000.
In this tutorial, we have shown you the steps to install LibreNews on NetBSD. By following these steps, you can easily set up LibreNews on your system and enjoy reading your favorite news.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
