In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Journal, a command-line based diary application, on Linux Mint. Journal lets you write daily entries, search and read them, and edit or delete your previous entries.
To install Journal on Linux Mint, you need to have the following prerequisites:
Git is a popular version control tool that is widely used in the software development industry. If you don't have Git installed already, you can install it using this command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
Once you have Git installed, the next step is to clone the Journal repository from GitHub. To do that, navigate to a directory where you want to store the Journal app on your system and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/inoda/journal.git
This will create a new directory called "journal" in your current working directory, which contains all the necessary files required to run Journal.
Before running Journal, you need to install some dependencies required by the app using the following command:
sudo apt-get install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0
Now that you have the Journal app installed along with its dependencies, you can launch the app with the following command:
python3 journal.py
This will open the Journal app in your terminal, where you can start writing your daily entries, search through them, or edit and delete your previous entries.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps to install Journal, a command-line based diary application, on Linux Mint. With Journal, you can easily write daily entries, search and read them, and edit or delete your previous entries.
