The fastest way to get started with Todo CLI X is by installing it globally with pipx, a Python packaging tool for installing CLI applications in isolated environments.

​
Requirements

​
Install via pipx

First, make sure you have pipx installed:

Bash
brew install pipx
pipx ensurepath
pipx install todo-cli-x
You may need to restart your terminal or shell after installing pipx.

Once installed, you can run the CLI from anywhere:

Bash
todo --help
todo add "Submit report" --priority high --due 2025-06-10
todo add "Refactor API" --priority high --due 2025-06-30 --tags dev,urgent
todo list
todo list --verbose
todo list --tags dev
todo edit 2 --text "Refactor user API" --priority medium --tags dev

To upgrade later:

Bash
pipx upgrade todo-cli-x
pipx is recommended if you just want to use the CLI. The source install is better if you want to contribute or modify the code.
