Install¶

Task is distributed as a Python CLI. The two easiest ways to install are pipx or uv.

Install with pipx¶

pipx installs Python CLI apps into isolated virtual environments and exposes them on your PATH.

pipx install cade-task

Upgrade later with:

pipx upgrade cade-task

uv can install CLI tools globally in a similar way:

uv tool install cade-task

Upgrade later with:

uv tool upgrade cade-task

After installation, confirm the command is available:

task --version

Set your project directory so task can infer the current Reminders list from your working directory:

export TASK_PROJECT_DIR="${HOME}/awesome_stuff"

Then try:

task list
