GRAMPS does not rely on the following programs, however, having them will increase your productivity:
* '''Spell checking''': Installing pythongnome-gnome2python2-extras and python-enchant provides the gtkspell module and the enchant module, which adds spell checking in the notes
* '''[http://www.graphviz.org Graphviz]''', '''Inkscape''': Gramps can make nice Genealogical trees (relationship graphs). These are generated by the Graphviz package, which defines a code (dot), as well as programs to produce graphs (dotty, to be called from command line). This gives you as researcher most power over how your tree will look, but has a learning curve. An alternative is to make a graphical report, converting the tree to an svg file, which you then can open/edit/refine in eg Inkscape.
* '''ttf-freefont''': Useful as a font that supports a large subset of the unicode and is a true type. This works well with both print and graphviz output.
