Rapid Photo Downloader depends on the following software:
- GNOME 2.18 or higher
- GTK+ 2.10 or higher
- Python 2.5 or 2.6
- pygtk 2.10 or higher
- python-gconf 2.18 or higher
- python-glade2 2.10 or higher
- gnome-python 2.10 or higher
- libexiv2 0.15 or higher
- pyexiv2 0.1.1 or higher
To run Rapid Photo Downloader you will need all the software mentioned above.
A recommended package is exiv2 (not just the library libexiv2), so Rapid Photo
Downloader can determine if it can download additional types of RAW files
(some early versions of exiv2 and pyexiv2 segfault on certain RAW file types).
If you want to download videos, you can install:
- python-kaa-metadata
- ffmpegthumbnailer
kaa metadata is required to download videos. ffmpegthumbnailer is used only to
display thumbnail images as the download occurs. This is a useful feature, and
if you can install it, it is recommended.
kaa metadata and ffmpegthumbnailer are optional. The program will run without
them.
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:
http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/download.html
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.
