* Introduction * Gourmet Recipe Manager is a manager, editor, and organizer for recipes. It has a plugin architecture which allows you to enable extensions to Gourmet's base functionality. For example, there is a nutritional plugin that allows Gourmet to help you calculate nutritional information for any recipe. There are also a wide variety of import and export plugins that let Gourmet read and write recipes in various formats. This program aspires to meet the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines. Please let me know if you see any ways the interface could become more GNOME HIG compliant (or just improve in general). * Minimum Requirements * 1. Python 2.4 2. PyGTK>2.3.9 and PyGNOME (Note: with pygtk > 2.5, pygnome bindings have been split up. To print, you'll need e.g. the python-gnome2-extras package as well as the the python-gnome2 package). 3. libglade 4. Python and pysqlite bindings (if you have python 2.5, these are there by default.) 5. distutils (to install). Provided by python-dev package. 6. Python Imaging Libraries (PIL) * Extra Requirements * 1. Python Reportlab (python-reportlab) - for PDF export. 2. For RTF support, you will need the PyRTF library available at http://pyrtf.sourceforge.net 3. Gnomeprint bindings, for nice python printing. This is packaged differently in different places and versions, but will likely be in something called "python-gnome" or "pygtk-extras". * Install * As root, issue a python setup.py install. That should be all you need. You can now simply issue gourmet from the commandline. Alternatively, use the nifty launcher installed in /usr/share/applications/ Gourmet also has commandline options, most of which should not be needed by an average user. Issuing gourmet --help will get you help for those options. * Warning * No warantee, etc. Please inform me of bugs/problems/feature requests and I'll respond as quickly as I can.
