Newsboat [](https://travis-ci.org/newsboat/newsboat) [](https://coveralls.io/github/newsboat/newsboat?branch=master) [](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/newsboat-newsboat)
========
Newsboat is a fork of Newsbeuter, an RSS/Atom feed reader for the text console.
The only difference is that Newsboat is actively maintained while Newsbeuter
isn't.
Downloading
-----------
You can download the latest version of Newsboat from the official site:
https://newsboat.org/
Alternatively, you can check out the latest version from the Git repository:
git clone git://github.com/newsboat/newsboat.git
Dependencies
------------
Newsboat depends on a number of libraries, which need to be installed before
newsboat 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, xmllint, and xsltproc](http://xmlsoft.org/downloads.html)
- [json-c (version 0.11 or newer)](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/wiki)
- [asciidoc](http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/INSTALL.html)
- DocBook XML

Installation
------------
First, you'll have to get the dependencies. Make sure to install the header
files for the libraries (on Debian and derivatives, headers are in `-dev`
packages, e.g. `libsqlite3-dev`.) After that, compiling and installing newsboat
is as simple as:
make
make install
(And if you ever need to uninstall it, use `make uninstall`.)

Development
-----------
Decided to work on an issue, fix a bug or add a feature? Great! Be sure to
check out [our style guide](doc/code-style.markdown) and install pre-commit
hook.
You'll probably want to run the tests; here's how:
make -j5 PROFILE=1 all test
(cd test && TMPDIR=/dev/shm ./test --order rand)
Note the use of ramdisk as `TMPDIR`: some tests create temporary files, which
slows them down if `TMPDIR` is on HDD or even SSD.
