=====================
by Andreas Krennmair
Newsbeuter is an RSS feed reader for the text console. Zed Shaw
[called](http://zedshaw.com/archive/i-want-the-mutt-of-feed-readers/) it "The
Mutt of Feed Readers".
It is designed to run on Unix-like operating systems such as GNU/Linux and
FreeBSD. NetBSD is currently not supported, due to technical limitations.
Downloading
-----------
You can download the latest version of newsbeuter from the following website:
http://www.newsbeuter.org/
Alternatively, you can check out the latest version from the newsbeuter
Git repository (hosted on GitHub):
git clone git://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter.git
Dependencies
------------
Newsbeuter depends on a number of libraries, which need to be installed before
newsbeuter can be compiled.
- GCC 4.9 or newer, or Clang 3.6 or newer
- [STFL (version 0.21 or newer)](http://www.clifford.at/stfl/)
- [SQLite3 (version 3.5 or newer)](http://www.sqlite.org/download.html)
- [libcurl (version 7.18.0 or newer)](http://curl.haxx.se/download.html)
- GNU gettext (on systems that don't provide gettext in the libc):
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/
- [pkg-config](http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/)
- [libxml2](http://xmlsoft.org/downloads.html)
- [json-c (version 0.11 or newer)](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/wiki)
Debian unstable comes with ready-to-use packages for these dependencies.
Installation
------------
Compiling and installing newsbeuter is as simple as:
make
make install
(And if you ever need to uninstall it, use `make uninstall`.)
Tests
-----
If you're a developer, here's how you can run the test suite:
make -j5 PROFILE=1 all test
(cd test && TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./test --order rand)
Note the use of ramdisk as `TMPDIR`: some of our tests require temporary files,
which degrades the performance quite a bit if `TMPDIR` isn't in-memory.
