## Installation

### Download
Download the latest stable [release][release] for use on your desktop or server.

### OS X / macOS

```shell
brew install todo-txt
cp -n /usr/local/opt/todo-txt/todo.cfg ~/.todo.cfg

**Note**: The `-n` flag for `cp` makes sure you do not overwrite an existing file.

- `INSTALL_DIR`: PATH for executables (default /usr/local/bin)
- `CONFIG_DIR`: PATH for todo.txt config
- `BASH_COMPLETION`: PATH for autocompletion scripts (default to /etc/bash_completion.d)

```shell
make install CONFIG_DIR=/etc INSTALL_DIR=/usr/bin BASH_COMPLETION=/usr/share/bash-completion/completions
```

#### Arch Linux (AUR)
