Installing Tasks on Void Linux

Tasks is a simple command-line based to-do list manager designed to help you keep track of your daily tasks. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Tasks on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, ensure that your Void Linux system is up-to-date. You can do this using the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Su

Installing Dependencies

Tasks requires the following dependencies to be installed on your system:

• gcc for compiling and running the executable.
• make for automating the build process.

To install these dependencies, enter the command:

sudo xbps-install -Sy gcc make

Installing Tasks

Now we can proceed with the actual installation of Tasks. Here are the steps:

1. Clone the Tasks repository:

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

2. Navigate to the Tasks directory:

cd tasks

3. Build and install Tasks by running the make command:

make && sudo make install

Once you run the make command, it compiles the code and creates an executable file named tasks. The make install command then installs this executable file on the system.

4. Verify the installation by running the tasks command:

tasks

If everything was installed correctly, Tasks should now execute, and you should see a welcome message with usage instructions.

Conclusion

We have successfully installed Tasks on Void Linux. Now you can easily keep track of your daily tasks using this simple and efficient command-line tool.
