5 <title>Installing Geeqie</title>
\r
8 <div id="downloading">
\r
10 <p>Geeqie is available as a package with some distributions.</p>
\r
12 The source tar of the latest formal release may be downloaded:
\r
13 <a href="http://geeqie.org/geeqie-1.3.tar.xz">http://geeqie.org/geeqie-1.3.tar.xz</a>
\r
15 <p>However Geeqie is stable, and you may download the latest version (if you have installed git) from here:</p>
\r
18 <code>git clone git://www.geeqie.org/geeqie.git</code>
\r
22 <code>git clone http://www.geeqie.org/git/geeqie.git</code>
\r
24 <h2>Installation</h2>
\r
26 List compile options:
\r
27 <code>./autogen.sh --help</code>
\r
31 <code>./autogen.sh --disable-gtk3</code>
\r
36 <code>./autogen.sh [options]; make -j<no. of cpu cores></code>
\r
40 <code>[sudo] make install</code>
\r
44 <code>[sudo] make uninstall</code>
\r
47 <p>The zip and gzip files at geeqie.org and GitHub contain only the sources - they cannot, by themselves, be used to install Geeqie.</p>
\r
49 It is recommended to always use
\r
50 <code>git clone git://www.geeqie.org/geeqie.git</code>
\r
51 to download Geeqie. After installing Geeqie you may delete the folder you have cloned Geeqie into.
\r
53 <p>However if you leave the folder intact, whenever new features or patches are available, execute:</p>
\r
55 <code>git pull; sudo make uninstall; sudo make maintainer-clean; ./autogen.sh; make -j<no. of cpu cores>; sudo make install</code>
\r
57 <p>Only the changed sources are downloaded, which makes this a quick operation.</p>
\r
58 <p>Your configuration file, history file and desktop files are not affected by this process.</p>
\r
59 <h2>Notes and changes for the latest release</h2>
\r
61 See the NEWS file in the installation folder, or
\r
62 <a href="https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/blob/master/NEWS">Geeqie News at GitHub</a>
\r
65 And either the ChangeLog file or
\r
66 <a href="http://geeqie.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=geeqie.git;a=shortlog">Geeqie ChangeLog</a>
\r
68 <h2>Requirements</h2>
\r
69 <h3>Required libraries:</h3>
\r
75 disable with configure option: --disable-gtk3
\r
78 disabled by default when GTK+3 libraries are found.
\r
79 enable with configure option: --disable-gtk3
\r
80 optional items map display and GPU acceleration are not available
\r
83 Note: GTK+3 is still somehow experimental. It is needed for some
\r
84 features but we have several complains about the GTK+3 usability.
\r
86 So if you need a stable version, you are advised to compile it
\r
87 with GTK+2. If you want to play with the cool new features, use
\r
91 <h3>Optional libraries:</h3>
