Please read the [**COPYING**](https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/blob/maintenance/gramps60/COPYING) file first. Please read the [**INSTALL**](https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/blob/maintenance/gramps60/INSTALL) file if you intend to build from source. Requirements ============ The following packages **MUST** be installed in order for Gramps to work: * [**Python**](https://www.python.org/) 3.10 or greater - The programming language used by Gramps. * [**GTK**](https://www.gtk.org/) 3.24 or greater - A cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. * [**pygobject**](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject) 3.12 or greater - Python Bindings for GLib/GObject/GIO/GTK+ The following three packages with GObject Introspection bindings (the gi packages) * [**cairo**](https://cairographics.org/) 1.14.0 or greater - a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices. * [**Pycairo**](https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo) 1.13.3 or greater - GObject Introspection bindings for cairo. * [**pango**](http://www.pango.org/) - a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. * [**pangocairo**](http://www.pango.org/) - Allows you to use Pango with Cairo. * [**librsvg2**](http://live.gnome.org/LibRsvg) - (SVG icon view) a library to render SVG files using cairo. * [**orjson**](https://pypi.org/project/orjson/) - A fast JSON library for Python. Used to increase the performance of Gramps. 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**](https://nzjrs.github.io/osm-gps-map/) Used to show maps in the [Geography Category](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category). 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. * [**Graphviz**](https://www.graphviz.org) Enable creation of graphs using Graphviz engine. Without this, three reports cannot be run. The package name is usually graphviz or python3-pygraphviz. * [**PyICU**](http://pyicu.osafoundation.org/) 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. (These are Python bindings for the ICU package https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyICU/). * [**Ghostscript**](https://www.ghostscript.com) Used by Graphviz reports to help create PDF files. * [**python-imagesize**](https://pypi.org/project/imagesize/) Provides better image processing performance. If this module is not available, we continue to use Gdk. This provides a real improvement when we need to process many big images. The following packages are optional: ------------------------------------ * [**bsddb3**](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bsddb3/) Python bindings for Oracle Berkeley database. Only needed to upgrade older Gramps databases. * **gspell** Enable spell checking in the notes. * [**rcs**](https://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/) The GNU Revision Control System (RCS) can be used to [archive a family tree](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Archiving_a_Family_Tree). Multiple revisions of your family trees can be managed. Only rcs is needed, NO python bindings are required. * [**Pillow**](https://python-pillow.org) The friendly Python Image Library fork is needed to crop images and also to convert non-JPG images to JPG so as to include them in LaTeX output. The package name is usually python-pillow or python3-pillow. * [**gexiv2**](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gexiv2) 0.5 or greater Enables Gramps to manage Exif metadata embedded in your media. * [**ttf-freefont**](https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/) Provides genealogical symbols and more fonts for reports * **geocode-glib** 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. The package name is usually gir1.2-geocodeglib-1.0 or geocode-glib. * [**fontconfig**](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/) Python bindings of fontconfig are required for displaying genealogical symbols * [**pycountry**](https://pypi.org/project/pycountry/) Used to validate ISO language codes. Optional packages required by Third-party Addons ------------------------------------------------ **[Third-party Addons](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Third-party_Plugins) are written by users and developers and unless stated are not officially part of Gramps.** Prerequistes required for the following Addons to work: * [**Family Sheet**]( https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Family_Sheet ) - Requires: Pillow * [**Graph View**]( https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Graph_View ) - Requires: PyGoocanvas and Goocanvas (python-pygoocanvas, gir1.2-goocanvas-2.0). * [**Network Chart**]( https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=NetworkChart ) - Requires: networkx and pygraphviz * [**PedigreeChart**]( https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=PedigreeChart ) - Can optionally use - numpy if installed No longer needed: ----------------- * Since Gramps 5.2: **xdg-utils** * 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** * Since Gramps 3.1: **yelp** - Gnome help browser.
