RSS feed reader from the terminal in Linux [closed]

Solution 1:

A quick look at Synaptic shows a few candidates in the repositories:

  • nrss (dead, it suggests to use Canto)
  • olive
  • Canto
  • Newsbeuter

Solution 2:

I love Newsbeuter. It's in most package repositories, has great documentation and it fits your needs. Zed Shaw calls it "the mutt of feed readers"

Solution 3:

Check out TermFeed. It just came out :-)

All you need to do is:

$ pip install TermFeed

Then enjoy reading

$ feed

or

$ feed <URL>

Solution 4:

You might also want to check out Snownews. Another alternative is Raggle (it has its own .org site which seems pretty unmaintained, but it works fine). Olive on my Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) required 10.3 MB of dependencies!
