TimeTagger is an open-source time tracking application that enables users to monitor their time spent on various projects and tasks. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the step-by-step process of installing TimeTagger on Clear Linux.
To install TimeTagger on Clear Linux Latest, ensure that you have the following:
TimeTagger requires several dependencies for it to function correctly. To start the installation process, launch your terminal application and update the package index first.
sudo swupd update
After updating the package index, proceed and install the required dependencies by running the command below:
sudo swupd bundle-add gtk3 devpkg-libappindicator
The above command installs the GTK 3 and libappindicator for the TimeTagger application.
After installing the required dependencies, download the TimeTagger package from the official website. You can download the package by running the command below using the wget command from the terminal.
wget https://timetagger.app/download/linux-stable/
The above command downloads the latest stable version of TimeTagger. You can verify the stability of the downloaded version by checking the version.json file by running the command below:
cat version.json
To install TimeTagger, extract the downloaded package and move it to the /opt/ directory by running the commands below:
tar xzf TimeTagger*.tar.gz
sudo mv TimeTagger /opt/
After installing TimeTagger, we need to create a launcher to make it easier for us to launch the application. To create a launcher, create a new file called timetagger.desktop by running the command below:
sudo nano /usr/share/applications/timetagger.desktop
Then, paste the following code into the timetagger.desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=TimeTagger
Icon=/opt/TimeTagger/icon.png
Exec=/opt/TimeTagger/timetagger
Comment=Open source time tracking application
Categories=Utility;
After pasting the code, save and close the file.
At this point, you have successfully installed TimeTagger on your Clear Linux Latest system. To launch it, search for TimeTagger in the application search bar, or click on the launcher icon that we created in step 4.
In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to install TimeTagger on Clear Linux Latest. We have also highlighted the essential dependencies required for the software to function correctly. With the guide above, you can now easily track your time spent on various projects and tasks.
