Tasks is a simple task manager application for Linux that is inspired by the Taskwarrior project. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Tasks on MXLinux Latest.
Tasks requires several dependencies to be installed before it can be compiled and installed. Open a terminal window and type in the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libsqlite3-dev libncurses5-dev libgnutls28-dev libssh-dev
Open a terminal window and navigate to a directory where you want to store Tasks source code by typing the following command:
cd ~/Downloads
Next, clone the Tasks repository by entering the following command:
git clone https://github.com/m1guelpf/tasks.git
Navigate to the Tasks source code directory by typing the following command:
cd tasks
Now, create a build directory and navigate into it by entering the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
Next, run the cmake command to configure the build environment by typing:
cmake ..
Then, run the make command to compile Tasks and install it by typing:
make install
The make command might take a few minutes to complete, depending on your system's speed.
To verify that Tasks is installed, open a terminal window and type:
tasks
If Tasks opens without any errors, then it is successfully installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tasks on MXLinux Latest. You can now use Tasks to manage your tasks and to-do lists.
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!
