# Install YetAnotherToDoList

## Requirements:

- go 1.21.1 (not tested, but _should_ also work in all versions since 1.16)
- gcc 4.6+ (according to the [golang wiki](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/MinimumRequirements#cgo))

## Install via `go install`

When installing via this method, no commit & version information is provided.

```bash
go install somepi.ddns.net/gitea/gilex-dev/YetAnotherToDoList@latest
```

You can specify the installation location by adding `GOBIN=<installation directory>`

## Install from git repository (Recommended)

In addition to the [requirements](#requirements), you will need `git` and `GNU make`

```bash
git clone https://somepi.ddns.net/gitea/gilex-dev/YetAnotherToDoList.git
cd YetAnotherToDoList
go mod tidy # only if you want to edit the GraphQL backend
make build
```

To customize your build, you can run `make` with these environment variables:

```
INSTALL_DIR=<installation directory>
BUILD_FLAGS=<go build flags>
RUN_FLAGS=<cli arguments for YetAnotherToDoList>
```

## Install from pre-build binary

There are currently no pre-build binaries available

## Troubleshooting

If you get an error like `Unable to connect: Binary was compiled with 'CGO_ENABLED=0', go-sqlite3 requires cgo to work. This is a stub`, make sure `gcc` is installed and in your `PATH`.

If this still does not work, try

```bash
CGO_ENABLED=1 go install github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
```

## Post install

### Add shell completion

YetAnotherToDoList must be in your `PATH` for this to work.

#### Bash

```bash
source <(YetAnotherToDoList completion bash)
```

For other shells or more info, see

```bash
YetAnotherToDoList help completion <bash|zsh|fish|powershell>
```

### Configuration

Edit the file [.YetAnotherToDoList.yaml](./.YetAnotherToDoList.yaml) and run `YetAnotherToDoList help` for options.

## Uninstall

Run `make uninstall` or

```bash
rm $HOME/.local/bin/YetAnotherToDoList # replace with your installation path
```

Don't forget to delete the `.log`, `.yaml` and `.sqlite3` files if you don't need them any more.

### Remove shell completion

#### Bash

```bash
complete -r YetAnotherToDoList
```
