Rapid Photo Downloader depends on the following software:

- GNOME 2.18
- GTK+ 2.10
- Python 2.5
- pygtk 2.10
- python-gconf 2.18
- python-glade2 2.10 
- gnome-python 2.10
- libexiv2 0.15
- pyexiv2 0.1.1

To run Rapid Photo Downloader you will need all the software mentioned above. To
start from a fairly basic system, I suggest the following:

1. Install the required gnome packages from your linux distribution's package 
   repositories.  On a recent linux distribution, expect all to be available for
   easy download and installation.  If you already use gnome, most of the 
   packages will already be installed.  Do confirm that python-gconf, 
   python-glade2, and gnome-python are installed, because they
   may not be quite so common in a base system.
    
2. Install pyexiv2.  You can probably do that using your distributions's package 
   repositories (look for python-pyexiv2). But if not, there are instructions 
   here:

3. Install this application from the tarball. You probably need to be the 
   super user (root) to be able to do this:

   sudo python setup.py install

   If you get an error saying 'Error while running msgfmt', you will need to
   install the gettext package on your system, which contains the msgfmt 
   program.
