This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Pastila on your EndeavourOS system. Pastila is a lightweight Pomodoro timer that runs on the system tray and provides a simple and efficient way to manage your work sessions.
Start by installing the dependencies required to build and run Pastila. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git meson ninja vala gtk3 libnotify
Next, clone the Pastila repository to your local machine. Open the terminal and navigate to your desired directory. Then run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/PastilaTheGreat/pastila.git
This will create a pastila directory in your current location containing the source code.
Navigate to the pastila directory, and use Meson to configure the build environment. Run the following commands:
cd pastila/
meson setup build --prefix=/usr
This will configure the build environment in a new directory called build. Next, build and install Pastila:
cd build
ninja
sudo ninja install
This will build the executable and install it to your system. After this, Pastila should be installed on your EndeavourOS system.
Finally, launch Pastila by executing the following command:
pastila
Or, you can search for Pastila in your system's application menu and launch it from there.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Pastila on your EndeavourOS system. Pastila is now ready to be used for managing your work sessions. Enjoy!
