How to install µTask on POP! OS

This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install µTask on the latest version of POP! OS, a Linux distribution.

Step 1: Install prerequisites

Before we start the installation process, we need to install some prerequisites. Open the terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential cmake libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev

These commands will update the package list and install necessary packages required for compiling and building µTask.

Step 2: Clone the µTask repository

Next, we need to clone the µTask repository from GitHub. Run the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/ovh/utask.git

This command will create a copy of the µTask source code on your computer.

Step 3: Build µTask

Navigate to the µTask directory by running the following command in the terminal:

cd utask

Then, we need to build µTask. Run the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

These commands will create a build directory, configure µTask with cmake, and then build the executable file.

Step 4: Install µTask

Once µTask has been built, install it by running the following command:

sudo make install

This command will install µTask on your system.

Step 5: Verify installation

To verify that µTask is installed correctly, type utask in the terminal. This should display the µTask usage information.
