In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install DailyTxT on the latest version of POP! OS. DailyTxT is a simple command-line tool used for creating and maintaining a daily journal. Here are the steps:
Before we begin, please ensure that you have the following:
DailyTxT requires Python 3 and pip to be installed on your system. If you have these already installed, please skip to step 2. If not, enter the following command in your terminal to install them:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip -y
Next, we need to clone the DailyTxT repository from GitHub. Enter the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/PhiTux/DailyTxT.git
This will create a directory called DailyTxT in your current working directory.
To install DailyTxT, we need to navigate to the DailyTxT directory that we just cloned. Enter the following command in your terminal:
cd DailyTxT
Next, we will install the DailyTxT package using pip. Enter the following command in your terminal:
pip3 install --user .
This will install DailyTxT on your system.
To test whether the installation was successful, enter the following command in your terminal:
dailytxt --help
This will display the help output for DailyTxT. If you see the help output, then the installation was successful.
Finally, you can start using DailyTxT by entering the following command in your terminal:
dailytxt
This will create a new journal entry for today. You can add your thoughts and notes for the day to this file. To view your journal entries, enter the following command:
dailytxt --view
This will display all your journal entries.
That's it! You have successfully installed DailyTxT on POP! OS. You can now use it to create and maintain your daily journal.
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!
