Yarr is an open-source RSS reader built with React and Node.js. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Yarr on NetBSD.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, clone the Yarr repository by running the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr.git
This will create a copy of the Yarr repository in your current working directory.
Navigate to the cloned Yarr repository folder and install the required dependencies by running the following command:
npm install
This will install all the necessary packages and dependencies required to run Yarr on your NetBSD system.
Copy the config-default.json file by using the following command:
cp config-default.json config.json
Open config.json in your preferred text editor and configure your desired settings. You need to edit the following fields:
"server": {
"port": <PORT_NUMBER>,
"env": "development",
"secret": <SECRET_HASH>
}
In the above code snippet, replace <PORT_NUMBER> with a port number of your choice and replace <SECRET_HASH> with a unique and secure secret hash.
You can now run Yarr by executing the following command:
npm start
The Yarr server will start, and you can access it by opening the browser of your choice and typing http://localhost:<PORT_NUMBER> in the address bar.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Yarr on NetBSD. You can now enjoy using Yarr as a powerful RSS reader that can be customized to fit your specific needs.
