RSS feed reader from the terminal in Linux

Question

Is there a way by which I can read RSS feeds from the terminal itself?

Something that would display the titles and a link to follow. Or maybe a software which works from within the terminal.

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

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

Newsbeuter seems not user-friendly to config the first time. I get a better impression with canto. – Jaime M. Sep 07 '17 at 10:35

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"

Newsbeuter is abandoned now, but newsboat has taken its place: https://newsboat.org/ – gmarmstrong Dec 02 '17 at 23:27

Yes, https://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter has been forked as newsboat – jasonleonhard Jan 26 '21 at 20:31

Check out TermFeed. It just came out :-)

All you need to do is:

$ pip install TermFeed

Then enjoy reading

$ feed

or

$ feed <URL>

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!
