The following describes one possible scenario for building and running the latest development version of GRAMPS on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 Ubuntu]:
* Install a text editor if you plan on modifying the GRAMPS source. You can use any text editor such as gedit, kate, or sourcenav (<tt>sudo apt-get install sourcenav</tt>), erik4, SPE, or [http://www.eclipse.org Eclipse] with the python plugin. Instructions on [[Development using Eclipse and Pydev|installing and configuring Eclipse for GRAMPS development]]. Note the [[Programming Guidelines|programming guidelines for GRAMPS]].
* Install the tools we'll will need:
sudo apt-get install build-essential gnome-common libglib2.0-dev subversion
* Create a directory for the Gramps source:
cd ~
mkdir gramps
cd gramps
* Get the latest version of GRAMPS:
svn co https://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gramps/trunk
