Feedpushr is an open-source RSS aggregator and reader that allows you to collect and read RSS feeds from different sources. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the installation process of Feedpushr on macOS using the command line interface.
Before we can start installing Feedpushr, we need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Open the Terminal application on your macOS. You can do this by searching for "Terminal" in the Spotlight or navigating to Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
First, we need to install Git if you don't have it already installed. Run the following command to check if Git is installed:
git --version
If Git is not installed, Homebrew will automatically install it for you when you run the following command:
brew install git
Once Git is installed, we can clone the Feedpushr repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/ncarlier/feedpushr.git
Next, navigate to the cloned repository using the cd command:
cd feedpushr
Install the dependencies using NPM:
npm install
Create a new configuration file. The template configuration file is located in the config directory. You can copy this file to create a new configuration file:
cp config/default.yml config/myconfig.yml
Edit the myconfig.yml file to suit your needs. You can find more information on the configuration options in the config/README.md file.
Start the Feedpushr server:
npm start --config config/myconfig.yml
Feedpushr server should now be running on your macOS. You can access the web interface by navigating to http://localhost:3000/ in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Feedpushr on your macOS using the command line interface. You can start adding RSS feeds to your aggregator and reading them through the web interface.
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!
