Installation

You can install Taskter from prebuilt packages or build from source.

Homebrew

brew tap tomatyss/taskter
brew install taskter

Linux packages

Prebuilt .deb archives are generated using cargo deb and can be downloaded from the GitHub release page. Install them with dpkg -i:

sudo dpkg -i taskter_0.1.0_amd64.deb

For Alpine Linux there is an APKBUILD script in packaging/apk/ which can be used with abuild -r to produce an apk package.

Build from Source

To build Taskter from source, you need to have Rust and Cargo installed.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/tomatyss/taskter.git
   cd taskter
   

2. Build the project:

   cargo build --release
   

   The executable will be located at target/release/taskter.

3. Install the executable: You can make taskter available system-wide by copying it to a directory in your system's PATH. For example, on macOS or Linux:

   sudo cp target/release/taskter /usr/local/bin/taskter
   

   Alternatively, you can use cargo install:

   cargo install --path .
   

   This will install the taskter executable in your Cargo bin directory (~/.cargo/bin/), which should be in your PATH.

Docker

If you prefer to use Docker, you can build and run Taskter without installing Rust locally.

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t taskter .
   

2. Run the application:

   docker compose run --rm taskter --help
   

   If you plan to use the Gemini integration for agents, you'll need to pass your API key as an environment variable:

   GEMINI_API_KEY=<your_key> docker compose run --rm taskter --help
