Overcast is a command line podcast client written in Rust that lets you easily subscribe to and manage your podcast feeds. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install Overcast on Void Linux.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following:
Before installing Overcast, we need to have Rust installed on our system. To do so, open your terminal emulator and type the following command:
sudo xbps-install rust
This command will install Rust and its dependencies.
Next, we need to clone the Overcast repository from GitHub. Open your terminal emulator and type the following command:
git clone https://github.com/andrewchilds/overcast.git
This command will create a new folder called "overcast" in your current directory and download the Overcast source code into it.
Now that we have the source code downloaded, we need to build and install Overcast. To do so, navigate to the "overcast" folder by typing the following command:
cd overcast
Once you are in the "overcast" folder, use the following command to build and install Overcast:
cargo install --path .
This command will download the required dependencies, compile the source code, and install Overcast on your system.
To verify that Overcast is installed on your system, type the following command:
overcast --version
This command should display the current version of Overcast that is installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Overcast on your Void Linux system. Now you can start subscribing to and managing your favorite podcast feeds using Overcast.
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!
