Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf libjsoncpp-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libncurses5-dev

For macOS with Homebrew, install the prerequisites with:

brew install jsoncpp

Install to /usr/local/bin with the following:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && make install

Clarification on Sign In Method (PLEASE READ)

Due to the fact that this is open source, the administrators at Feedly have asked me to use their developer tokens instead of giving me a client secret. To explain, if I were to use a client secret I would need to distribute it along with the source code. This is an obvious security risk and I am going to keep this project open source, hence this new method.

Unfortunatley, as of now, the Developer tokens have an expiration of three months. This means that you must create a new one every three months.

I have modified Feednix to help you with this. IT CANNOT DO THIS AUTOMATICALLY since developer tokens involve sending you an email to retrieve them.
