instead rather use `pipx`; see\nabove.\n\nTo install pter you can either clone the repository (see at the end) or, much\nsimpler, use pip to install it:\n\n```sh\npip install pter\n```\n\nIf you want to use the Qt GUI qpter, you have to install PyQt5::\n\n```sh\npip install PyQt5\n```\n\n\n## Using pter\n\nTo launch pter you have to tell it where your todo.txt file is:\n\n```sh\npter ~/todo.txt\n```\n\nFor the graphical user interface (requires QT), you have to start it like\nthis:\n\n```sh\nqpter ~/todo.txt\n```\n\nBoth will give you a listing of all your tasks order by how soon they will be\ndue and what priority you have given them.\n\nYou can navigate the tasks with your cursor keys and edit selected tasks by\npressing `e`.\n\nMore default shortcuts are:\n\n - `e`, edit the selected task\n - `n`, create a new task\n - `d`, mark the selected task as done (or toggle back to not done)\n - `?`, show all keyboard shortcuts\n - `q`, quit the program\n\nThere is a complex search available (have a look at the manual for details), but the short version is:\n\n - press `/` to enter your search terms\n - search for `done:n` to only show incomplete tasks\n - search for a context with `@context`\n - search for a project with `+project`\n - search for tasks that do not belong to a context with `-@context` or `not:@context`\n - press `Return` to return the focus to the task list\n\n\n## Using qpter\n\nTo launch the Qt GUI, you may (but don’t have to) provide the location of your\ntodo.txt file::\n\n```sh\nqpter ~/todo.txt\n```\n\n\n# Contributing\n\nJust like any other open source project, you’re invited to participate in\npter’s development. Any contribution is welcome, from bug reports to pull\nrequests/sending of patches!\n\nYou can find the project at [codeberg](https://codeberg.org/pter/pter)\nor just email any of the authors with your input.\n\nThere is also a general XMPP discussion channel [pter](xmpp:pter@rooms.spacepanda.se?join)\nover at `spacepanda.se`.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvonshednob%2Fpter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fvonshednob%2Fpter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvonshednob%2Fpter/lists"}
