A documentation is available here and provides different ways to install Newspipe.

Test Newspipe on Heroku:

Contributions

Contributions are welcome. If you want to contribute to Newspipe I highly recommend you to install it in a Python virtual environment. For example:

sudo apt-get install postgresql npm

It seems that today a proof of good taste is to install first pyenv, then pipsi, and finally pew and pipenv with pipsi.

git clone https://github.com/newspipe/newspipe.git
cd newspipe/
pipenv install
