Installing Gummi

Gummi is available in several ways. If you are an end-user, you will likely be interested in the installation instructions under the first section'. If you are a developer, or you want to run the latest development code - you can also compile Gummi from source.

Install for your platform

Gummi was packaged for the following platforms:

Ubuntu: Personal Package Archive

Debian: Official repository

Fedora: Official repository

OpenSUSE: Official repository

Gentoo: Portage entry

Arch: Community repository

Slackware: SlackBuilds repository

Big thanks to all packagers!

Compile from source

Compiling Gummi is a multi-step process that allows you to run the latest (untested) development code. This procedure is aimed at advanced users and developers. The instructions below are aimed at Ubuntu/Debian environments but should translate to your platform without issues:

1. Install development tools:

apt-get install git intltool libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgtksourceview2.0-dev libpoppler-glib-dev libgtkspell-dev

2. Retrieve Gummi sourcecode

git clone https://github.com/alexandervdm/gummi.git

3. Configure Gummi build environment

cd gummi

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr

./configure --prefix=/usr

4. Compile Gummi

make

5. Install Gummi

make install

Note: I do not recommend installing software outside of your package manager. You can also compile the Gummi sourcecode and use the resulting binary without installing by using the development Makefile. Run the following command to use this alternative procedure:

cd src && make && ./gummi
