How to install vit on linux mint

A bloody great command line mate created a TaskWarrior wrapper, VIT(https://github.com/scottkosty/vit).
I think this wrapper is tmux friendly.
Also I like this approach to improve TaskWarrior because if you are already using TaskWarrior, there is no transfer cost.
How to install
$ git clone https://github.com/scottkosty/vit.git
$ cd vit
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
VIT was created with perl. I had to install perl modules because my linux system is not familiar with perl.
Trouble shooting
1. the curse of perl
If you receive this error message from ./configure
configure: error: can not continue: perl "Curses" module not found
Install libcurses-perl
by https://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/libcurses-perl
2. when running vit
Can't locate Try/Tiny.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Try::Tiny module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.22.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22 /usr/share/perl/5.22 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base .) at /usr/local/bin/vit line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/vit line 13.
Install Try::Tiny
by https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/18.10/ubuntu-universe-amd64/libtry-tiny-smartcatch-perl_0.5-1_all.deb.html
If after installing it same error message occurs...
I attempted to find Tiny.pm
in this directory
usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Try/Tiny.pm
According to this error message there is no perl path for usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/
So,
export PERL5LIB=/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/
Then
it works!!
