Newsdash is a popular open-source software that can be used to create a personalized news feed. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install Newsdash on NixOS latest.
The first step is to clone the Newsdash repository from GitHub. To do this, open up a terminal and enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/buzz/newsdash.git
This will create a copy of the Newsdash repository on your local machine.
Newsdash has several dependencies that need to be installed before it can be run. To install these dependencies, open up a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo nix-env -iA nixpkgs.python38Packages.pip
This command will install the Python package manager (pip) that will be used to install the Newsdash dependencies.
Now that we have pip installed, we can use it to install the Newsdash dependencies. To do this, navigate to the newsdash directory that was created in Step 1 and enter the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command will install all of the required dependencies.
Once the dependencies are installed, we can now launch Newsdash. To do this, enter the following command in the newsdash directory:
python3 server.py
This will start the Newsdash application, and it will be available at http://localhost:5000.
That's it! You have successfully installed Newsdash on NixOS Latest. Now you can customize your own news feed and stay up-to-date on the latest news.
