How to Install Tasks on Fedora Server

Tasks is a command-line task manager developed by m1guelpf, which is available on GitHub. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Tasks on Fedora Server latest version.

Prerequisites

Before we start the installation process, please make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A Fedora Server installed on your machine.
• A user account with sudo privileges.
• A stable internet connection.

Step 1: Update and Upgrade the System

To ensure that your system is up-to-date and secure, run the following commands to update and upgrade your system:

sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Git

Git is a version control system that allows you to manage and track changes in your software projects. Tasks is available on GitHub, so we need to install Git to clone the repository.

To install Git, run the following command:

sudo dnf install -y git

Step 3: Clone the Tasks Repository

To clone the repository, navigate to the directory where you want to install Tasks, and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/m1guelpf/tasks.git

This will download the Tasks source code from the GitHub repository to your current directory.

Step 4: Install Tasks Dependencies

To install the Task dependencies, navigate to the Tasks directory and run the following command:

sudo dnf install -y python3-devel

Step 5: Create a Virtual Environment

Next, we will create a virtual environment to isolate the Tasks dependencies from the system's default Python environment. To do so, run the following commands:

python3 -m venv tasks-env
source tasks-env/bin/activate

This will create a new virtual environment and activate it. Your command prompt should now show the virtual environment's name in brackets.

Step 6: Install Tasks

Now that the virtual environment is created, we can install Tasks by running the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

After running this command, Tasks will be installed along with its dependencies.

Step 7: Run Tasks

To run Tasks, navigate to the Tasks directory and run the following command:

python tasks.py

This will start Tasks in the command line interface.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tasks on Fedora server latest version. Now you can use Tasks to manage your tasks and increase your productivity.
