Yarr is a lightweight RSS reader that lets you read and organize your favorite website feeds in one place. In this tutorial, we will explore the steps involved in installing Yarr on Void Linux.
Before we can install Yarr, we need to make sure that certain dependencies are available on our Void Linux system. We can install these dependencies with the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S qt5-qtbase qt5-qtmultimedia
Once we have the required dependencies installed, we can proceed to download and install Yarr. We can do this by following these steps:
Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to download Yarr.
Clone the Yarr repository by typing the following command:
git clone https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr.git
Navigate into the Yarr directory by typing the following command:
cd yarr
Build and install Yarr with the following commands:
qmake && make
sudo make install
This will compile and install Yarr on your Void Linux system.
After Yarr is installed, you can launch it by typing the following command in your terminal:
yarr
This will launch the Yarr application and you will be able to start adding RSS feeds to read.
That's it! You now have Yarr installed on your Void Linux system. You can start to use it to read and organize your favorite website feeds.
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!
