Requirements
The following packages MUST be installed in order for Gramps to work:
- Python 3.2 or greater
- GTK 3.10 or greater
- pygobject 3.12 or greater
- cairo, pango, pangocairo with introspection bindings (the gi packages)
- librsvg2 (svg icon view)
- xdg-utils
- 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
- goocanvas2
Required for the (user-downloadable) GraphView plugin
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
-
