How to Install tasks.php on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will be going through the steps necessary to install tasks.php on NetBSD. tasks.php is a simple command line utility for managing your to-do lists in PHP.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

• NetBSD installed on your system
• root access or a user with sudo privileges
• A working internet connection

Step 1: Install PHP

The first step is to install PHP on your system. To do this, run the following command:

# pkgin update
# pkgin install php

This will install the latest version of PHP on your system.

Step 2: Download tasks.php

Next, we need to download tasks.php from the GitHub repository. To do this, run the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/lgg-archive/tasks.php.git

This will download the repository to your current directory.

Step 3: Move tasks.php to the correct directory

Now that we have tasks.php, we need to move it to the correct directory so that it can be executed. We will create a directory called bin in our home directory and move tasks.php into it.

To do this, run the following commands:

$ mkdir ~/bin
$ mv tasks.php/tasks.php ~/bin/tasks

Step 4: Add ~/bin to your $PATH

We need to add ~/bin to our $PATH environment variable so that we can execute tasks from anywhere in the terminal.

$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

Step 5: Verify installation

To verify that tasks.php is installed correctly, run the following command:

$ tasks

This will display the help menu for tasks.php.
