Installation

Linux:

1. Build the application:

   go build -o task-cli

2. Move the executable to /usr/local/bin/ for system-wide access:

   sudo mv task-cli /usr/local/bin/

Windows:

For Windows, here are the steps to build and install your Go application:

1. Build the application: If you have Go installed, you can build the application by opening a command prompt (or PowerShell) in the directory where your Go code is located and running:

   go build -o task-cli.exe

   This will generate the task-cli.exe executable.

2. Move the executable to a directory in your PATH: To make the application accessible system-wide, you should move it to a directory that's included in your PATH. Common directories for this purpose are C:\Program Files or C:\Users\<your_username>\go\bin, but you can choose another directory.

   You can manually move the task-cli.exe or use the command line:

   move task-cli.exe C:\path\to\desired\directory\

   For example:

   move task-cli.exe C:\Users\<your_username>\go\bin\

3. Ensure the directory is in your PATH: If the directory where you moved the executable is not already in your PATH, you can add it by following these steps:

   • Right-click on This PC or Computer, and select Properties.
   • Click on Advanced system settings on the left side.
   • In the System Properties window, click on the Environment Variables button.
   • Under System variables, scroll down and select the Path variable, then click Edit.
   • Click New and add the path to the directory where you moved task-cli.exe (e.g., C:\Users\<your_username>\go\bin\).
   • Click OK to save the changes.

After these steps, you should be able to run task-cli from any command prompt or PowerShell window.
