Yarr is a simple RSS reader designed to work with minimal resources. The software is available on GitHub and can be installed on various operating systems including OpenSUSE. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process on OpenSUSE latest release.
Before we begin, it is essential to ensure that your system meets the required prerequisites.
The first step is to install Git on your OpenSUSE system. Git is a distributed version control system that is used to download and manage the Yarr source code from GitHub.
To install Git, run the following command in your terminal.
sudo zypper install git
After installing Git, you can proceed to clone the Yarr repository by running the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr.git
This will download the source code from GitHub and save it in a directory named "yarr."
Next, you need to install the dependencies required to run Yarr on your OpenSUSE system. These dependencies include Go and sqlite3.
To install Go, run the following command:
sudo zypper install go
To install sqlite3, run the following command:
sudo zypper install sqlite3 sqlite3-devel
Now that you have downloaded the source code and installed the necessary dependencies, you can proceed to build Yarr.
Navigate to the Yarr directory by running the command:
cd yarr
Next, build Yarr by running the following command:
make yarr
This will compile the source code and create a binary executable file named yarr in the /bin directory.
Now that you have built Yarr, you can run it by navigating to the /bin directory and executing the yarr binary.
cd bin
./yarr
This will launch the Yarr application, and you can start adding RSS feeds to the reader.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Yarr on your OpenSUSE system.
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!
