How to install Tasks on NetBSD from GitHub

Tasks is a command-line to-do list manager. Here's how you can install it on your NetBSD system:

1. Check if your system has Git installed. To do this, open a terminal and type:

   git --version
   

   If Git is installed, you will see the version information. If not, you will need to install it first.

2. Install dependencies. Tasks requires SQLite3 and readline. To install them on NetBSD, type:

   pkgin install sqlite3 readline
   

3. Clone the Tasks repository. In the terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to install Tasks (e.g. your home directory) and type:

   git clone https://github.com/m1guelpf/tasks.git
   

4. Build and install Tasks. Navigate into the tasks directory:

   cd tasks
   

   Then, run:

   make && make install
   

   This will compile the code and install the Tasks binary to /usr/local/bin/tasks.

5. (Optional) Add tasks to your PATH. If you want to be able to use the tasks command from any directory, add /usr/local/bin to your PATH by adding the following to your shell's configuration file (e.g. .bashrc or .zshrc):

   export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
   

That's it! You now have Tasks installed on your NetBSD system. To get started, simply type tasks in the terminal. Happy task managing!

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!
