Requirements

Linux

• ncurses
• A C-compiler like gcc
• cmake (not actually necessary)

Windows

• Windows XP or newer

Installation

Linux

• Run cmake:

    cmake .

     make
  

• Install:

     make install
  

Windows

Run the installer, e.g. ctodo-1.1-setup.exe.

Usage

Linux

Run from a console using:

ctodo

This will create a todo.txt file in the current directory or open the file if it exists.

Alternatively you can run ctodo using:

ctodo someotherfile.txt

Which will open/create someotherfile.txt in the current directory.
