#Helitack taskbook how to#

My Raspberry Pi already came with Node and NPM installed, so don’t be surprised if apt tells you that you already have the “latest version” (mine was a very old version, but it still worked fine with Taskbook). These command update your Raspberry Pi and then install Node and NPM. To install Node.js and NPM on your Raspberry Pi, open up a Terminal and type in these commands (press enter after each command): sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade I’ve found the Raspberry Pi package manager to have a sufficient version of Node available to support Taskbook (many guides online – such as this one – will tell you to worry about the version of Node, and that using apt doesn’t allow you to control the version, however I haven’t found a problem using apt when running simple apps such as Taskbook). Personally, I love command-line apps as they are fast to use (you don’t have to move your hands from mouse to keyboard), and they work well over unreliable internet connections (when you might only have a command line text-based interface available).įollow the steps below to install Taskbook: Step 1: Install Node.js and NPM Taskbook relies on Node.js to run, which the Raspberry Pi also supports. Raspberry Pi can run Taskbook and take notes using the command line interface in Terminal. It allows you to organise your notes and tasks as boards or timelines, and provides a simple syntax that makes it easy to learn and use. Taskbook is a free, open source, and easy to use command line tool for managing to-do lists, boards, and notes from the command line. The apps in this guide focus on plain text, if you’re interested in taking Markdown notes on Raspberry Pi, check out my Markdown guide here: /markdown-tools-raspberry-pi 1.

In this guide I’ve included brief detail on how to install each app, as well as some of the benefits I found of using them.
