Lewsnetter is a tool for sending email newsletters from the command line. Here's how to install it on macOS.
Before you can install Lewsnetter, you need to have Homebrew installed on your macOS system. Homebrew is a package manager that allows you to easily install command-line tools and software.
To install Homebrew, open Terminal and enter the following command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
Once you have Homebrew installed, you can use it to install Lewsnetter.
First, update Homebrew by running the following command:
brew update
Then, install Lewsnetter by running the following command:
brew install bborn/lewsnetter/lewsnetter
This will download and install Lewsnetter and any dependencies it requires.
To verify that Lewsnetter is installed correctly, open Terminal and run the following command:
lewsnetter --version
This should display the version number of Lewsnetter.
Before you can use Lewsnetter to send email newsletters, you need to configure it with your email service provider (ESP) credentials.
Lewsnetter supports several ESPs, including Mailchimp, SendGrid, and Amazon SES. You can find detailed instructions for configuring Lewsnetter with each of these services in the Lewsnetter documentation.
Once you have configured Lewsnetter with your ESP credentials, you can use it to send email newsletters from the command line.
To create and send a newsletter, you'll need to create a newsletter template file and a subscriber list file. You can find detailed instructions for creating these files in the Lewsnetter documentation.
Once you have your template and subscriber list files ready, you can run Lewsnetter by entering the following command:
lewsnetter send my-template.html my-subscribers.csv
Replace my-template.html and my-subscribers.csv with the names of your actual template and subscriber list files.
Lewsnetter will send your newsletter to all the subscribers in your list.
That's it! You now know how to install and use Lewsnetter on macOS to send email newsletters from the command line. Happy emailing!
