Install Instructions

Linux (Portable Use)

  1. Download rssreader.bin
  2. Run it in a terminal. For example, if it was downloaded in /home/john-doe/Downloads, run /home/john-doe/Downloads/rssreader.bin, or, alternatively, ~/Downloads/rssreader.bin. If you are in the directory with the downloaded file, run ./rssreader.bin.

  2. If your distro includes double-click install, use that. Otherwise, open a terminal to the directory where you downloaded the file.
    SKIP IF USING DOUBLE-CLICK INSTALL
  3. Run sudo dpkg -i rssreader.deb to install the debian file. It will be installed to /usr/local/bin/rssreader, making it availiable system-wide.
  4. To uninstall, run sudo dpkg --remove rssreader.

Windows (Portable Use)

ℹ️ Information: An anti-virus may mark the exe file as a virus, due to the nature of one-file Pyinstaller compilation. The code is safe to run. You can make an exception for it, but instructions vary a lot, so I'm not putting instructions here.

  1. Download .exe file.
  2. Open terminal.
  3. Run .exe file from terminal
  4. Done

Windows (System-wide install)
