Make no mistake, maintaining synchronization is hard ! And this tool is not magic, it does not make the process simple but it is easier than the alternatives. |
Gramps Web installation and account setup
Before you can start to use the Gramps Web Sync tool addon it requires a working Gramps Web installation has been setup and also requires a Gramps Web account with owner privileges.
The Gramps Web Sync tool addon can be installed like any other addon; see Installing Addons in Gramps.
There are no installation (or user interface options) on the Gramps Web side because the Gramps Web Sync tool communicates directly with that the Gramps Web webservice's native restful API.
