Liferea is a desktop feed reader/news aggregator that brings together all of the content from your favorite subscriptions into a simple interface that makes it easy to organize and browse feeds. Its GUI is similar to a desktop mail/news client, with an embedded web browser.

Installation from Package

Many distributions have packaged Liferea:

Building

Compile with

meson setup builddir && cd builddir
meson compile
meson test

Update translations

meson compile liferea-update-po

Install

meson install

If you compile with a --prefix directory which does not match $XDG_DATA_DIRS you will get a runtime error about the schema not being found. To workaround set $XDG_DATA_DIRS before starting Liferea. For example:

env XDG_DATA_DIRS="$my_dir/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS" $my_dir/bin/liferea

Update JS Dependencies

npm i
npm audit fix
npm run installDeps
