Installing
From Package
Thanks to the community, there are binary packages available here.
Building Timewarrior
Building Timewarrior yourself requires
- git
- cmake
- make
- C++ compiler, currently gcc 4.8.1+ or clang 3.3+ for full C++11 support
- Python 3, for running the testsuite
There are two ways to retrieve the Timewarrior sources:
Clone the repository from Github,
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior
cd timewarriorOr download the tarball with curl,
curl -O https://taskwarrior.org/download/timew-1.3.0.tar.gzand expand the tarball
tar xzf timew-1.3.0.tar.gz
cd timew-1.3.0
Build Timewarrior, optionally run the test suite (note: the tarball does not contain tests), and install it.
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release
make
[make test]
sudo make install
This copies files into the right place (default under /usr/local), and installs man pages.
Add the optional parameter -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/your/install/location to the cmake command if you want to install Timewarrior at a location other than /usr/local. The make install command may not require sudo depending on your choice of install location.
