Installation

lifester is available on PyPI. This is the easiest way to install it. All dependencies will be installed automatically.

pip3 install lifester

If you want to install lifester from source, have a look here.

Setup

No further setting up needed. The first time you run lifester, it will create a .lifester directory in your home folder (if it does not already exist) and create a categories.txt file which saves all the categories your time blocks can have.

Usage

Usage:
    lifester enter
    lifester analyze all
    lifester analyze (year | month | week) <timeframe>
    lifester categories (add)
    lifester help
    lifester version

Timeframe:
    ... start end [year]
    ... single [year]

Lifester creates a .lifester folder in your home directory (~/) where it saves all entered day data as well as a categories file. If you want to specify a different folder for these files, you need to set the LIFESTERPATH in your .bashrc like so:

export LIFESTERPATH=/path/that/you/want

Entering the Data For a Day

Analyzing Previously Entered Data

Of course, subsituting year with month and week works too.
