|
===================
|
|
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** 3.5 or greater - The programming language used by Gramps. https://www.python.org/
|
|
* **GTK** 3.12 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** 1.13.1 or greater - a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices. http://cairographics.org/
|
|
* **Pycairo** 1.13.3 or greater - GObject Introspection bindings for cairo. https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo
|
|
* **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/
|
|
* **sqlite3** - Python bindings for SQLite Database library
|
|
|
|
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, so gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0.
|
|
Without this the GeoView will not be active, see
|
|
https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_5.0_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 or try graphviz and python3-pygraphviz from your packages.
|
|
|
|
* **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/)
|
|
|
|
* **Ghostscript**
|
|
|
|
Used by Graphviz reports to help create PDF's
|
|
|
|
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_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Archiving_a_Family_Tree
|
|
Only rcs is needed, NO python bindings are required
|
|
|
|
* **PIL**
|
|
|
|
Python Image Library (PILLOW) 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
|
|
|
|
* **geocodeglib**
|
|
|
|
A library use to associate a geographical position (latitude, longitude)
|
|
to a place name. This is used if you already have osmgpsmap installed.
|
|
If installed, when you add or link a place from the map, you have a red line
|
|
at the end of the table for selection.
|
|
Debian, Ubuntu, ... : gir1.2-geocodeglib-1.0
|
|
Fedora, Redhat, ... : geocode-glib
|
|
openSUSE : geocode-glib
|
|
ArchLinux : geocode-glib
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
* **fontconfig**
|
|
|
|
Python bindings of fontconfig are required for displaying
|
|
genealogical symbols
|
|
|
|
Optional packages required by Third-party Addons
