How to Install Feedmixer on Windows 10

Feedmixer is an open-source tool for creating combined RSS feeds from multiple sources. If you want to set up Feedmixer on your Windows 10 machine, here is a step-by-step tutorial to help you out.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that the following software is installed on your system:

Installation

  1. First, download the Feedmixer repository from feedmixer">https://github.com/cristoper/feedmixer. You can clone the repository to your computer using Git or download the ZIP file and extract it to a folder of your choice.

  2. Open a Command Prompt window by pressing Win + R, type cmd in the Run dialog box, and hit Enter.

  3. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the Feedmixer files by typing cd <folder_path> and hitting Enter. For example:

    cd C:\Users\User\Downloads\feedmixer-master
    
  4. Install the required Python packages by running the following command:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
    

    This will download and install all the necessary dependencies for Feedmixer.

  5. Once the dependencies are installed, you can start the Feedmixer server by running the following command:

    python app.py
    

    This will start the server on your local machine, listening on port 5000 by default. You should see output similar to the following:

    * Serving Flask app "app" (lazy loading)
    * Environment: production
      WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment.
      Use a production WSGI server instead.
    * Debug mode: off
    * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
    

    This means that the server is up and running, and you can access it using your web browser.

  6. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:5000/ to access the Feedmixer web interface.

  7. That's it! You can now start adding RSS feeds and creating new combined feeds to stay up to date with your favorite websites.
