Please read the COPYING file first.
|
|
|
|
If building from source, also read the INSTALL file (at least through the
|
|
"SUPER-SHORT VERSION") before going further.

Requirements
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
The following packages *MUST* be installed in order for Gramps to work:
|
|
Python 2.7 or greater, Python 3.2 or greater (or both python versions)
|
|
GTK 3.0 or greater
|
|
pygobject 3.3.2 or greater
|
|
cairo, pango, pangocairo with introspection bindings (the gi packages)
|
|
librsvg2 (svg icon view)
|
|
xdg-utils
|
|
bsddb3 is required for Python 3.2 (not python 2.7)
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Geography_Category
|
|
!! PACKAGERS: unfortunately, at the moment (March 2013),
|
|
the patches which gramps 4.0 needs osm-gps-map to have
|
|
are not yet released (as a new osm-gps-map version). The
|
|
osm-gps-map sources must be dated 6 February 2013 (or
|
|
later) to have the necessary patches. You may obtain
|
|
it from: http://nzjrs.github.com/osm-gps-map/ or else
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/Dependencies
|
|
(The necessary version seems to be 0.8 -- or later.)
|
|
|
|
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.)
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_4.0_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.)
|
|
|
|
GExiv2 Enables Gramps to manage Exif metadata embedded in your
|
|
media. Gramps needs version 0.5 or greater.
|
|
See http://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
|
|
|
|
gir-webkit GObject introspection data of WebKit is required for the
|
|
hidden view 'Htmlview', which allows websites to be
|
|
opened in Gramps. Users can unhide the view in the
|
|
plugin manager. A html renderer must be installed to
|
|
use the view.
|
|
!! PACKAGERS, Test if on your distribution
|
|
webkit and Gramps is stable. If you obtain crashes, patch
|
|
src/plugins/view/htmlrenderer.py and
|
|
src/plugins/view/geoview.gpr.py, so as to remove:
|
|
from gi.repository import WebKit as webkit
|
|
|
|
goocanvas2:
|
|
Required for the (user-downloadable) Graphview plugin
|
|
|
|
No longer needed in 4.0:
|
|
pygoocanvas, pygtk, pyexiv2
|
|
No longer needed in 3.3:
|
|
python-enchant Enchant
|
|
No longer needed in 3.2:
|
|
python glade bindings
|
|
No longer needed in 3.1:
|
|
yelp Gnome help browser. At the moment no help is shipped
