In this tutorial, we will learn how to install RSS Fulltext Proxy on POP! OS Latest. RSS Fulltext Proxy is a powerful tool that allows users to read RSS feeds with full-text content rather than just the headline or summary. It is available for free on GitHub, and can be installed on POP! OS with just a few simple steps.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install the necessary dependencies. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs npm git
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
This command updates the package list, installs Node.js, npm and Git, and creates a symbolic link to enable Node.js to work properly.
Next, we need to download RSS Fulltext Proxy. Open a terminal window and navigate to the folder where you want to download the software. Then enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Kombustor/rss-fulltext-proxy.git
This command will download the software from GitHub to your computer.
Once the software has been downloaded, navigate to the rss-fulltext-proxy directory in your terminal, and run the following command:
npm install
This command will install all the dependencies required by RSS Fulltext Proxy.
After successfully installing RSS Fulltext Proxy, we now need to configure it. Copy the default configuration file:
cp config-example.js config.js
Edit the config.js file and make the necessary changes. You can specify the port number, the URL of the desired RSS feed and many other parameters. Make sure that the settings are correct before moving on.
Finally, it's time to run RSS Fulltext Proxy. To start the server, run the following command:
npm start
You should see the message “Server Listening on port XXXX” in the terminal window, where XXXX is the port number you specified in the config.js file.
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed and configured RSS Fulltext Proxy on your POP! OS system. With this powerful tool, you can now read your RSS feeds with full-text content instead of just the headline or summary.
