Installation

Arch linux

A pkgbuild is distributed. Just download it and do:

$ makepkg

You will have a new package that you can install with pacman.

Debian based (debian, ubuntu, mint)

A script that will create a debian package is also distributed with newsup.

First you need to install the dependencies.

E.g. on Ubuntu 19.04 (disco):

$ apt install bc git patch wget curl gcc make perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libxml-libxml-perl libfile-copy-recursive-perl libconfig-tiny-perl libinline-c-perl

Then open a terminal and do:

$ curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/demanuel/NewsUP/master/build_scripts/debian/debian.sh | bash

If you have all the dependencies, then you should have no issues.

You can now start using it by invoking

$ newsup

If some dependency is missing then you'll need to look up to the output and install what's missing via apt-get, aptitude or synaptic (GUI).
