How to Install LibreNews on Manjaro

LibreNews is a decentralized news platform that aims to provide an alternative to traditional news outlets. Here's how to install it on Manjaro:

Step 1 - Download the package

First, go to the official LibreNews website at https://librenews.io/ and click the "Download" button. Choose the appropriate version for your Manjaro system (e.g., 64-bit or 32-bit), and save the package to your computer.

Step 2 - Install dependencies

Before installing the package, you need to make sure that all the required dependencies are installed on your system. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git nodejs yarn

This command will install the Git version control system, the Node.js JavaScript runtime, and the Yarn package manager.

Step 3 - Install LibreNews

Next, navigate to the directory where you saved the LibreNews package and extract it using the following command:

tar -xvf librenews-*.tar.gz

Replace * with the version number of the package you downloaded. This will extract the contents of the package to a new directory called librenews.

Navigate to this directory using the following command:

cd librenews

Finally, run the installation command with the following:

./install.sh

This script will install all the required dependencies and launch the LibreNews client.

Step 4 - Launch LibreNews

To launch LibreNews, simply open a terminal and run the following command from the librenews directory:

yarn run start

This will start the LibreNews client and open it in your default web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed LibreNews on your Manjaro system.
