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.

Please visit timewarrior.net for extensive documentation, downloads, news and more.

Thanks to the community, there are binary packages available here.

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/v1.9.1/timew-1.9.1.tar.gz
  

  and expand the tarball

  tar xzf timew-1.9.1.tar.gz
  cd timew-1.9.1
  

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

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -S . -B _build
cmake --build _build -j
[cmake --build _build --target timew_test]
sudo cmake --install _build

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 cmake --install command may not require sudo depending on your choice of install location.
