How to Install Tasks on OpenBSD
Tasks is a simple to-do list manager for the command line written in Rust, available on GitHub. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Tasks on OpenBSD.
Prerequisites
You will need the following before you begin:
- A working installation of OpenBSD
- A user account on OpenBSD with sudo privileges
- A stable internet connection
Step 1: Install Rust and Cargo
To install Tasks, we will first need to install Rust and Cargo, Rust's package manager. Open the Terminal and run the following command to install Rust and Cargo on OpenBSD:
sudo pkg_add rust cargo
This command will install the latest version of Rust and Cargo on your OpenBSD system.
Step 2: Clone the Tasks repository
After installing Rust and Cargo, we need to clone the Tasks repository. Open the Terminal and run the following command to clone the Tasks repository:
git clone https://github.com/m1guelpf/tasks.git
This command will download the Tasks repository to your current working directory.
Step 3: Build and install Tasks
Next, we need to build and install Tasks. Open the Terminal and navigate to the Tasks directory by running the following command:
cd tasks
Once you are in the Tasks directory, run the following command to build Tasks:
cargo build --release
This command will build the Tasks binary in the target/release/ directory.
Now run the following command to install Tasks:
sudo cp target/release/tasks /usr/local/bin/
This command will copy the Tasks binary to the /usr/local/bin/ directory, making it available system-wide.
Step 4: Verify the installation
To verify that Tasks has been installed successfully, run the following command:
tasks --version
This command will display the version of Tasks currently installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tasks on OpenBSD!
