Tasks.php is a simple, yet powerful task management tool written in PHP. It allows you to create and manage tasks, and comes with a built-in web interface.

Prerequisites

Before installing tasks.php, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install Git

Step 2: Clone tasks.php from Github

Next, clone tasks.php from Github using the following command:
