Bubo Reader is an open-source RSS reader designed for desktop use. It allows users to stay up-to-date with their favorite websites and news sources all in one place. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Bubo Reader on Pop! OS Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
To download Bubo Reader from GitHub, we need to install Git first. Open the terminal by pressing CTRL + ALT + T and type in the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
Enter your root password and press y to continue with the installation process.
Bubo Reader is built using GTK, a free and open-source widget toolkit. To install the necessary development libraries for GTK, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
Now that we have Git and the GTK development libraries installed, we can proceed to clone the Bubo Reader repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/georgemandis/bubo-rss.git
This will create a new directory called bubo-rss in your current directory containing all the necessary files for Bubo Reader.
Navigate to the bubo-rss directory by running the following command:
cd bubo-rss
Next, we need to compile and install Bubo Reader. To do this, run the following command:
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
This process may take a few minutes to complete.
Finally, we can launch Bubo Reader by typing the following command in the terminal:
bubo-rss
Alternatively, you can also search for Bubo Reader in the application launcher and launch it from there.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and launched Bubo Reader on your Pop! OS Latest system.
