The Gramps Project ( https://gramps-project.org ) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/gramps-project/gramps.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/gramps-project/gramps)[![codecov.io](https://codecov.io/github/gramps-project/gramps/coverage.svg?branch=master)](https://codecov.io/github/gramps-project/gramps?branch=master) =================== We strive to produce a genealogy program that is both intuitive for hobbyists and feature-complete for professional genealogists. Please read the **COPYING** file first. Please read the **INSTALL** file if you intend to build from source. Requirements ============ The following packages **MUST** be installed in order for Gramps to work: * **Python** 3.2 or greater - The programming language used by Gramps. https://www.python.org/ * **GTK** 3.10 or greater - A cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. http://www.gtk.org/ * **pygobject** 3.12 or greater - Python Bindings for GLib/GObject/GIO/GTK+ https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject The following three packages with GObject Introspection bindings (the gi packages) * **cairo** - a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices. http://cairographics.org/ * **pango** - a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. http://www.pango.org/ * **pangocairo** - Allows you to use Pango with Cairo http://www.pango.org/ * **librsvg2** - (SVG icon view) a library to render SVG files using cairo. http://live.gnome.org/LibRsvg * **xdg-utils** - Desktop integration utilities from freedesktop.org * **bsddb3** - Python bindings for Oracle Berkeley DB https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bsddb3/ The following package is needed for full translation of the interface to your language: * **language-pack-gnome-xx** Translation of GTK elements to your language, with xx your language code; e.g. for Dutch you need language-pack-gnome-nl. The translation of the Gramps strings is included with the gramps source. The following packages are **STRONGLY RECOMMENDED** to be installed: -------------------------------------------------------------------- * **osmgpsmap** Used to show maps in the geography view. It may be osmgpsmap, osm-gps-map, or python-osmgpsmap, but the Python bindings for this must also be present. Without this the GeoView will not be active, see https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category * **Graphviz** Enable creation of graphs using Graphviz engine. Without this, three reports cannot be run. Obtain it from: http://www.graphviz.org * **PyICU** Improves localised sorting in Gramps. In particular, this applies to sorting in the various views and in the Narrative Web output. It is particularly helpful for non-Latin characters, for non-English locales and on MS Windows and Mac OS X platforms. If it is not available, sorting is done through built-in libraries. PyICU is fairly widely available through the package managers of distributions. See http://pyicu.osafoundation.org/ (These are Python bindings for the ICU package. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyICU/) The following packages are optional: ------------------------------------ * **gtkspell** Enable spell checking in the notes. Gtkspell depends on enchant. A version of gtkspell with gobject introspection is needed, so minimally version 3.0.0 * **rcs** The GNU Revision Control System (RCS) can be used to manage multiple revisions of your family trees. See info at https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Archiving_a_Family_Tree Only rcs is needed, NO python bindings are required * **PIL** Python Image Library is needed to crop images and also to convert non-JPG images to JPG so as to include them in LaTeX output. (For Python3 a different source may be needed, python-imaging or python-pillow or python3-pillow) * **GExiv2** Enables Gramps to manage Exif metadata embedded in your media. Gramps needs version 0.5 or greater. See https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_029:_GTK3-GObject_introspection_Conversion#GExiv2_for_Image_metadata * **ttf-freefont** More font support in the reports Optional packages required by Third-party Addons ------------------------------------------------ **Third-party Addons are written by users and developers and unless stated are not officially part of Gramps.** For more information about Addons see: https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Third-party_Plugins Prerequistes required for the following Addons to work: * **Family Sheet** - Requires: PIL (Python Imaging Library) or PILLOW. ( https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Family_Sheet ) * **Graph View** - Requires: PyGoocanvas and Goocanvas. ( https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Graph_View ) * **PedigreeChart** - Can optionally use - numpy if installed ( https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=PedigreeChart ) No longer needed: ----------------- * Since Gramps 4.2: **gir-webkit** * Since Gramps 4.0: **pygoocanvas, pygtk, pyexiv2** * Since Gramps 3.3: **python-enchant Enchant** * Since Gramps 3.2: **python glade bindings** * Since Gramps 3.1: **yelp** - Gnome help browser. No offline help is shipped see Gramps website for User manual Documentation ------------- The User Manual is maintained on the Gramps website: * https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=User_manual
