### Configure your news feed
Once installed, in order to start using tuifeed, the first thing you need to do is to configure the feeds you want to read from.
To open the configuration file you can run
```sh
tuifeed -c
```
this will open the configuration file in your favourite editor.
> 💡 If this option doesn't work for you, you can edit the file manually at:
>
> - `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tuifeed/config.toml` on Linux
> - `/Users/$USER/Library/Application\ Support/tuifeed/config.toml` on MacOS
then you can add new sources as follows:
```toml
[sources]
"Cointelegraph" = "https://it.cointelegraph.com/rss"
"Corriere Della Sera" = "http://xml2.corriereobjects.it/rss/homepage.xml"
"Friuli Oggi" = "https://www.friulioggi.it/feed/"
"Il Piccolo" = "https://ilpiccolo.gelocal.it/rss/finegil/ilpiccolo/feed.rss"
"Il Post (Mondo)" = "https://www.ilpost.it/mondo/feed/"
"Il Post (Italia)" = "https://www.ilpost.it/italia/feed/"
"Messaggero Veneto" = "https://messaggeroveneto.gelocal.it/rss/finegil/messaggeroveneto/feed.rss"
```
so for each feed you want to read from, you must put an entry with a key, which identifies the **Name** of the source as it'll be displayed in the UI associated to the URL of the feed.
> 💡 If you want to use special characters in toml you can quote the key name:
> `"Il Post (Mondo)" = "https://www.ilpost.it/mondo/feed/"`
Once you're done with configuration, save, close and enjoy tuifeed 😄
### Configure your display options
You can optionally configure some display options in the UI.
To open the configuration file you can run
```sh
tuifeed -c
```
this will open the configuration file in your favourite editor.
> 💡 If this option doesn't work for your, you can edit the file manually at:
>
> - `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tuifeed/config.toml` on Linux
> - `/Users/$USER/Library/Application\ Support/tuifeed/config.toml` on MacOS
Then you can configure the following keys
```toml
[article-title]
show-author = false
show-timestamp = true
```
- show-author: display the author name before the article title in the articles list
- show-timestamp: display the timestamp before the article title in the articles list
The key order in the article list name is:
1. timestamp
2. author
3. title
Once you're done with configuration, save, close and enjoy tuifeed 😄
