Requirements
--------------------------------
The following packages *MUST* be installed in order for Gramps to work:
Python 2.6 or greater
PyGTK2 2.16 or greater
librsvg2 (svg icon view)
xdg-utils
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 eg for Dutch you need
language-pack-gnome-nl. The translation of the
Gramps strings is included with the source code.
The following packages are *STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* to be installed:
osmgpsmap Used to show maps in the geography view.
Without this the GeoView will not be active, see
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_3.3_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Geography_Category
The package is named osmgpsmap, osm-gps-map
or python-osmgpsmap. Or obtain it from: http://nzjrs.github.com/osm-gps-map/
GraphViz Enable creation of graphs using GraphViz engine.
Without this no beautiful graphs can be created.
Obtain it from: http://www.graphviz.org
pyexiv2 Enables Gramps to manage Exif metadata embedded in your
media. Gramps needs version 0.1.3 or greater.
Obtain it from: http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/download.html
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. The home page
is http://pyicu.osafoundation.org/
The following packages are optional
python gtkspell Enable spell checking in the notes, gtkspell contains the
libraries.
ttf-freefont More font support in the reports
PyWebKitGtk or python-gtkmozembed:
The hidden view 'Htmlview' 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:
import webkit
Then use the gecko package (python-gtkmozembed) instead.
If WEBKIT ang GECKO are installed, webkit will be used as
the javascript engine is faster (google maps).
* PyWebKitGtk
Enable html rendering for the Web view. Often called
python-webkit package. Be careful, webkit is always in a
development phase.
* python-gtkmozembed
Enable html rendering for the Web view in case PyWebKitGtk
is not available or to be used if webkit is unstable.
It can be in python-gnome2-extras or python-gtkhtml2
depending on distributions.
python-pygoocanvas:
Required for the experimental Graphview plugin
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
Documentation
---------------------------------
The User Manual is now maintained on the gramps website,
http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=User_manual
We might in the future distribute again a manual via gnome-doc-utils, this has not
been decided yet though.
Building on non-Linux systems: i18n support and GNU make
--------------------------------------------------------
If make fails, use gmake (the name FreeBSD gives to GNU make) instead.
You might need a patch also. FreeBSD has in ports a patch ( /usr/ports/science/gramps/files)
you need to apply to po/Makefile.in.in
