installation on Linux #12

I like your package very much - thanks for sharing it!

I tried to use it on Linux machine as well. This means, I tried to install it on a Linux machine: "install.packages("tidyRSS")"

I had to add several Linux libraries for this: sudo apt-get install libudunits2-dev sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev sudo apt-get install gdal-bin sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev

However, even with all this stuff, it did not work: configure: GDAL: 1.10.1 checking GDAL version >= 2.0.0... no configure: error: sf is not compatible with GDAL versions below 2.0.0

Actually, I do not understand why a RRS feed package depends on an "software library for reading and writing raster and vector geospatial data formats".

At the end - I gave up, at least for the Linux side. No way to make it less complex?

Hmm, that's unfortunate! I'm using sf to work with the geoRSS feeds. These are new to the package, so previous versions would have worked fine for you.

This might help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46770637/fail-to-upgrade-rgdal

Otherwise, you could fork the repo and take out the sf-related and geoRSS-related stuff and have a private version of tidyRSS until you can fix that gdal problem.

@mbflex all these dependencies are removed now, in case you'd like to use tidyRSS again.
