Building Timewarrior

Building Timewarrior yourself requires

  • Git
  • CMake (>= 3.8)
  • Make
  • C++ compiler with full C++17 support, currently GCC 8+ or Clang 5+
  • Python 3 (for running the testsuite)
  • Asciidoctor (for creating documentation)

There are two ways to retrieve the Timewarrior sources:

  • Clone the repository from GitHub and update required submodules,
    git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior
    cd timewarrior
    
  • Or download the tarball with curl,
    curl -O https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior/releases/download/v1.8.0/timew-1.8.0.tar.gz
    
    and expand the tarball
    tar xzf timew-1.8.0.tar.gz
    cd timew-1.8.0
    

Build Timewarrior, optionally run the test suite, and install it.

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release .
make
[make test]
sudo make install

This copies files into the right place (default under /usr/local), and installs man pages.

Add the optional parameter -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/your/install/location to the cmake command if you want to install Timewarrior at a location other than /usr/local. The make install command may not require sudo depending on your choice of install location.
