See supported platforms for operating systems.

Quick Setup

Build the task program according to the directions in the INSTALL file. This transcript illustrates a typical installation:

$ ls
task-2.5.3.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf task-2.5.3.tar.gz
$ cd task-2.5.3
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release .
...
$ make
...
$ sudo make install

(Please note, that Cygwin is not supported anymore. Please use the Windows Subsystem for Linux to use Taskwarrior on Windows).

Ensure that the installed task program is in your PATH environment variable. On startup, task will check to see if it can find the configuration file and task directory, and if not found, will ask you whether it may create both.
