Prerequisites

Before beginning, make sure you have these things:

  • A working installation of Void Linux.
  • An active internet connection.

Step 1: Add Timetagger Repository

To install TimeTagger on Void Linux, you'll need to first add the Timetagger repository to your system's list of repositories. Open your terminal and follow these steps:

  1. Update your system's package repository list using this command:
sudo xbps-install -S
  1. Add the Timetagger repository to your system, by creating a file at /etc/xbps.d/timetagger.conf with these contents:
repository=https://timetagger.app/static/void-packages/

You can use any text editor, such as nano or vim, to create this file. Make sure that your system is able to connect to the internet when you run this command, so that the system can add the Timetagger repository.

Step 2: Install Timetagger

Once you have added the Timetagger repository, you can install the software using xbps-install command in the terminal:

Step 4: Uninstall TimeTagger

If you no longer need TimeTagger on your system, you can easily remove it using the xbps-remove command in the terminal:

sudo xbps-remove timetagger

This will remove the TimeTagger package from your system. If you have any individual TimeTagger configuration files or directories, you may also consider removing them manually to completely remove TimeTagger from your system.

That's all it takes to install Timetagger on Void Linux! With Timetagger installed, you're now able to keep track of your work hours and improve your productivity.
