Q: first use of todo.sh -h #=> Fatal Error: is not a directory #

The error "Fatal Error: is not a directory" when running todo.sh -h occurs because the script cannot locate or access its required todo.txt directory, often due to improper installation, missing configuration, or running from the wrong location. [^2_1] [^2_2]

Quick Fixes #

• Ensure todo.txt directory exists in the same folder as todo.sh (or wherever you run it from), containing an empty todo.txt file: mkdir todo.txt && touch todo.txt/todo.txt.[2][1]
• Run with explicit directory flag: todo.sh -d ~/path/to/todo.txt -h.[3][1]
• Check installation: Clone from GitHub (git clone https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli.git), then cd todo.txt-cli and ln -s todo.sh ~/bin/todo (ensure ~/bin is in $PATH).[2]

Proper Setup Steps #

1. Download or clone the repo:
   git clone https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli.git ~/todo && cd ~/todo. [2]
2. Make executable:
   chmod +x todo.sh. [2]
3. Create config if needed: Copy todo.cfg.example to todo.cfg and edit paths. [2]
4. Test: ./todo.sh help (use ./ if not in PATH). [1][3]

Verify by listing tasks: todo.sh ls should work without errors post-setup.[1]
