Hakatime is an open-source productivity tracker that tracks how much time you spend on each code editor or application. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Hakatime on Linux Mint.
Before we start the installation process, there are a few prerequisites that we need to have:
You can install Git and Python 3.6 or later using the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git python3
Follow the below steps to install Hakatime on Linux Mint:
First, we need to clone the Hakatime repository to our system using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/mujx/hakatime.git
This will create a directory named hakatime. Navigate to the directory using the following command:
cd hakatime
Next, we need to install the required dependencies for Hakatime using the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
After installing the required dependencies, we can run the Hakatime application using the following command:
python3 hakatime.py
This will start the Hakatime application on your system.
To configure Hakatime, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:5000/.
Here, you will see a login screen where you need to create a new account by providing your name, email, and password.
Once you have created an account, you will be redirected to the Hakatime dashboard. Here, you can configure the settings, add projects, and track your productivity.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the process of installing Hakatime on Linux Mint. Once you have installed and configured Hakatime, you can track your productivity and improve your coding habits.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
