### From Package

Thanks to the community, there are binary packages available [here](https://timewarrior.net/docs/install.html#distributions).

### 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/v1.7.1/timew-1.7.1.tar.gz
  ```
  and expand the tarball
  ```
  tar xzf timew-1.7.1.tar.gz
  cd timew-1.7.1
  ```
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.
