Vikunja is a powerful to-do list application designed to help you manage your tasks more efficiently. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Vikunja on Linux Mint Latest version.
Before proceeding with Vikunja installation, make sure your system is up-to-date and has all necessary dependencies installed. Run the following command in your terminal to update your system packages:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Next, you need to install some system dependencies required by Vikunja:
sudo apt-get install -y curl gnupg2 apt-transport-https
Next, we will add the Vikunja repository to our system. We need to run the following commands:
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/vikunja/vikunja/releases/latest \
| grep browser_download_url \
| grep 'linux-amd64.tar.gz' \
| cut -d '"' -f 4 \
| wget -qi -
Then run the following command:
sudo tar -xvf vikunja*.tar.gz -C /usr/local/bin/ --strip-components=1 vikunja-*/vikunja
To start the service, we will create a systemd unit file.
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/vikunja.service
Then paste the following content to the file:
[Unit]
Description=Vikunja Server
After=network.target
[Service]
User=root
Group=root
WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/bin
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/vikunja server
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then start the Vikunja service:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable vikunja.service
sudo systemctl start vikunja.service
Now Vikunja is running on your system, and you can access it by pointing your web browser to http://localhost:3456.
