Getting Things GNOME! (GTG) is a personal tasks and TODO list items organizer for the GNOME desktop environment inspired by the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology. GTG is designed with flexibility, adaptability, and ease of use in mind so it can be used as more than just GTD software.
GTG is intended to help you track everything you need to do and need to know, from small tasks to large projects.
In order to download and run GTG Developer Version, do the following steps (Debian-based systems):
DOWNLOAD: Execute this command to get the latest Developer package and then move to that directory:
$ git clone https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg.git
$ cd gtg
RUNNING: At first, install python3 dependencies by typing the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Running of this developer version of GTG will not be possible without installing liblarch at first so clone and install liblarch:
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
RUN: In order to run GTG from this Developers repository, you need to launch the debug.sh script:
$ ./gtg.sh
Getting Things GNOME launches.
If prompted, you may be required to install also python3-xdg and python3-dbus packages manually. Simply write a command:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-xdg python3-dbus
Run the script again.
There are additional plugins (modules for extending the user interface) and synchronization services (modules for importing/exporting tasks from/to external services) which needs additional packages to work correctly.
"Export and print" plugin dependencies:
- python3-cheetah
- pdflatex
- pdftk
- pdfjam
Installable on Debian-based system via
$ sudo apt-get install python3-cheetah pdftk pdfjam texlive-latex-base
Please refer to our documentation to get a thorough explanation on how GTG works.
To do this, you will need the yelp help viewer. On Debian-based systems, you can install yelp by executing this command:
$ sudo apt-get install yelp
You can then view the documentation either by accessing it through GTG (press F1 or use the help menu), or by using the command line using the following command:
$ yelp help:gtg
If you want to read the documentation directly from the source code, use this command (from the source root dir):
$ yelp docs/userdoc/C/index.page
GTG provides two command line tools that allows to interact with GTG:
- gtcli
- gtg_new_task
gtcli provides many options to display, list or edit tasks. gtg_new_task provides a GTG command line client that allows to easily add tasks.
If you want to know more about how to use these tools, please refer to the tools man page.
If you have installed gtg, you can access those by executing:
$ man gtcli
$ man gtg_new_task
