In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install DailyTxT on Clear Linux Latest. DailyTxT is a Python script that provides daily diary-journal features with a minimal interface. Before moving forward with the installation, make sure that you have installed Python3 on your Linux system.
Firstly, open up the terminal on your Clear Linux system and clone the DailyTxT repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/PhiTux/DailyTxT.git
Now, navigate to the DailyTxT directory using the following command:
cd DailyTxT
Before running the script, we need to install the required packages. For this, we will install pip3, a package installer for Python3, using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add package-utils
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command will install all the required packages for DailyTxT.
After installing the required packages, run the DailyTxT script using the following command:
python3 DailyTxT.py
Once the script runs, it will create a directory ~/Documents/DailyTxt/ where you can store your daily journal entries.
We can create an alias for the DailyTxT script for easier access. Open up the .bashrc file using the following command:
nano ~/.bashrc
Add the following line at the end of the file:
alias dailytxt='python3 ~/DailyTxT.py'
Save and exit the .bashrc file. Now, you can use the dailytxt command on the terminal to run the DailyTxT script.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and use DailyTxT on Clear Linux Latest. DailyTxT is a great tool for keeping a daily journal with a minimalist interface.
