This article will explain in detail how to set up reminders about how to use calcurse in Linux. The content of the article is of high quality, so the editor shares it for you as a reference. I hope you will have a certain understanding of the relevant knowledge after reading this article.

Install Culcurse on Linux

Calcurse is available in the standard repository of most Linux distributions. In case you don't have it on your distribution (such as CentOS/RHEL), you can easily install it from the source code as long as you have installed the gcc and ncurse development files.

Debian, Ubuntu or Linux Mint

The code is as follows:

# aptitude install calcurse

Fedora

The code is as follows:

# yum install calcurse

CentOS/RHEL

The code is as follows:

# yum install gcc ncurses-devel

# wget http://calcurse.org/files/calcurse-3.2.1.tar.gz

# tar xvfvz calcurse-3.2.1.tar.gz

# cd calcurse-3.2.1

#. / configure

# make

# make install

Start Calcurse

After the installation is complete, you can start calcurse with the following command:

The code is as follows:

$calcurse

You will see the blank interface below. If this color match doesn't appeal to you, you can change it later.

We can now press enter -'QQ'- press enter -'y 'again to exit the main interface. This key sequence activates the main menu at the bottom of the interface and tells it to save the current notes and confirm exit.

The first time we run calcurse, we create the following subdirectories in the home directory:

Here is a brief description of each subdirectory:

The apts file contains all the appointments and events for the user, and the todo file contains a list of all to-do items.

The conf file, as you might expect, contains the independent settings for the current user.

The keys file contains user-defined key bindings (for example: Q or Q exit, x or X export content, etc.).

In the notes subdirectory you will see files containing descriptions of notes that you can attach to any schedule.

Change the color matching

To change the color matching, follow these steps:

Use the button binding of the last image to select the foreground and background color configuration to better suit your needs:

Add appointments and to-do tasks

When we browse the command menu in the previous tab, we see that pressing'o' jumps from one menu to the next. We can use the second menu as the schedule editing menu.

So let's use Ctrl + An and Ctrl + T to add a new appointment and a new to-do task for today. If we want to specify a specific date for the appointment instead of today, we can use Ctrl + L (+ 1 day), Ctrl + H (- 1 day), Ctrl + J (+ 1 week), and Ctrl + K (- 1 week) keys before adding appointments and to-dos.

The steps for adding to-do tasks are similar, except that you use Ctrl + T, which has been explained earlier:

You will also be asked to enter a priority so that to-do tasks will be displayed on the home page:

You can now verify that to-do tasks and appointments have been added to the todo and apts files in the .culcurse folder accordingly:

Note that you can edit these files using your favorite editor or the calcurse screen at the bottom of the menu. You can press TAB to switch between different panels and select the items you want to edit:

Set up notifications for events

You can configure notifications under the notification menu. Follow the same steps to change the color scheme, but choose Notify instead of Colour:

Suppose you want to set up email notifications. Press the number 5 to edit the value of notify-bar_command:

After following the above settings, if the task is marked as important, root@localhost will receive an email notification after 300 seconds (or 5 minutes), which will happen before the next scheduled task. If you want to enable this feature even if calcurse is not running, set notify-daemon_enable to yes. In this case, dev2 is the host name of the machine.

This is the end of the reminder about how to use calcurse in Linux. I hope the above can be helpful to you and learn more. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
