$Id$ 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.
