Taskotron/Flock2016Workshop

These are instructions for Taskotron workshop at Flock 2016.

System requirements

• A laptop with Fedora 23 or 24

Install libtaskotron

Please install latest libtaskotron:

$ sudo dnf install libtaskotron --best --enablerepo=updates-testing
$ sudo usermod -aG taskotron <your_user>
$ sudo chgrp taskotron /var/cache/taskotron /var/tmp/taskotron
# log out and log in back again

Or you can install just libtaskotron-core and libtaskotron-fedora instead, which has fewer dependencies. Those packages are sufficient for local task execution.

You should have at least version 0.4.15

$ rpm -q libtaskotron-core
libtaskotron-core-0.4.15-1.fc24.noarch

Download workshop materials

Download and unpack flock2016-taskotron-workshop-v2.tar.xz. These files will be used to demonstrate writing a new task during the workshop. These files will help us to get started quickly, instead of manual re-typing code from the screen. You can also easily compare your current code with the example code, in case things don't work for you.
