First you need an initialized OPAM installed
If you don't have it installed, it can be fetched from your system packages manager.
Then to initialize it, do opam init -a
, then eval $(opam config env)
Now, to install mastodon-archive-viewer, clone this repo and do:
opam pin add mastodon-archive-viewer <the repo directory>
Now that mastodon-archive-viewer is installed you just need to download the archive you want to view, extract it in a new directory, then do:
cd <the archive directory>
mastodon-archive-viewer outbox.json
The mastodon-archive-viewer tool has also some options to filter out some items for example. Check out
the available options with mastodon-archive-viewer --help
If the installation fails somewhere while building the dependencies, you might miss one of these tools on your systems: make, gcc, m4, libc-dev. This might happen on a newly installed Alpine Linux, for instance.
