Install µTask on Linux Mint Latest
In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install µTask, a lightweight task scheduler and system monitor, on Linux Mint Latest using command-line interface.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding with the installation process, you must have the following prerequisites:
- A system running Linux Mint Latest
- A user account with sudo privileges
- An active internet connection
Step 1: Install Dependencies
µTask requires several dependencies to install and operate correctly. Therefore, run the following commands to install them on your system:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y libyaml-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev cmake gcc
The above command will update the system package list and install the required development libraries like Libyaml-dev, Libcurl4-openssl-dev, Libssl-dev, cmake, and gcc.
Step 2: Clone the Source Code
Now clone the µTask source code from the GitHub repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ovh/utask.git
After cloning the source code, navigate to the µTask directory.
cd utask
Step 3: Building binaries
Now it is time to build the µTask binaries using the following command:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j4
The above command will create a new directory called "build" inside the µTask repository and begin the building process. The "-j4" option is set to utilize parallel processing and enhances the building process speed.
Step 4: Install µTask
Once the binaries have been built, use the following command to install µTask on your system:
sudo make install
The above command will install µTask application, binary files and libraries to the appropriate locations in your system.
Step 5: Verify Installation
Finally, verify that µTask has been installed on your system correctly. Execute the following command to confirm:
utask --version
If µTask is correctly installed, it will output the µTask version information.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have installed µTask on your Linux Mint Latest distribution system. By following these simple steps, you can install µTask on any Linux system to begin scheduling and monitoring tasks on your system.
