Installation
==Installation==
These instructions are specific to the GRAMPS (minimal) installer, that requires you to independently install GRAMPS dependencies prior to installing GRAMPS, ignore these instructions if your using either the GRAMPS AIO installer or Portable GRAMPS application.
When you need to install the dependencies for GRAMPS there is the easy way and the hard way. You would only use the hard way if you have specific requirements ( such as specific versions ) that are not covered by the easy way.
 
The essential dependencies that GRAMPS requires to run are:
* Python 2.6.x or later (GRAMPS has not yet been ported to Python 3.x)
* GTK runtime
* GTK python bindings ( PyGTK, PyGObject, PyCario)
 
=== Dependencies - The easy way ===
Select the correct version of Python dependent on your operating system.
NOTE:
Currently (2011-6-20) the minimal installer only comes in a 32 bit version, if you are running on a 64 bit operating system select a 32 bit python installation to match.
 
;For Gramps 3.1.x and later
