# Timewarrior
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior.svg?branch=dev)](https://travis-ci.org/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior)
Thank you for taking a look at Timewarrior!
Timewarrior is a time tracking utility that offers simple stopwatch features as well as sophisticated calendar-based backfill, along with flexible reporting.
It is a portable, well supported and very active Open Source project.
## Installing
### From Package
Thanks to the community, there are binary packages available [here](https://timewarrior.net/docs/download.html#distributions).
### Building Timewarrior
Building Timewarrior yourself requires
* git
* cmake
* make
* C++ compiler, currently gcc 4.8.1+ or clang 3.3+ for full C++11 support
* Python 3, for running the testsuite
There are two ways to retrieve the Timewarrior sources:
* Clone the repository from Github,
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior
cd timewarrior
* Or download the tarball with curl,
curl -O https://taskwarrior.org/download/timew-1.1.1.tar.gz
and expand the tarball
tar xzf timew-1.1.1.tar.gz
cd timew-1.1.1
Build Timewarrior, optionally run the test suite (note: the tarball does not contain tests), 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.
