Liferea 1.3.2 Linux Feed Reader
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.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/apps
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install liferea
Compiling from Tarball
If you want you can compile Liferea yourself download the source tarball from the Github project page and extract it with:
$ tar -jxvf liferea-.tar.bz2
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
Using Liferea
When Liferea starts for the first time it installs a localized feed list if available. If this is not the case for your locale you might want to provide one. To check if there is one for your country have a look into the “opml” subdirectory in the latest release tarball or GIT.
If you want to provide/update a localized feed list please follow these rules:
- Keep the English part of the default feed list
- Only add neutral content feeds (no sex, no ideologic politics, no illegal stuff)
- Provide good and short feed titles
- Provide HTML URLs for each feed.
