= Getting Started =
 
Get the latest version of Gramps (currently "trunk" from SVN; see [http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brief_introduction_to_SVN Brief introduction to SVN]). This will become an easy-to-install package once Gramps 3.5 is released.
 
Once you have run ./autogen.sh, you are ready to make and run Gramps-Connect. These are the basic steps for running in a test development:
 
# cd gramps/src/webapp
# make
## this will build all tables, and populate with default information
## you should also define a superuser ID/Password here when prompted
# make run
## this will start up a testing webserver
# Point your browser to http://localhost:8000/ and begin using Gramps-Connect

You have three options for populating your on-line database:
 
First, you can enter data on the web. Currently only the add person function works.
 
Second, you can import data on the web. While running Gramps-Connect:
 
# Login with superuser ID/Password you created above
# Go to Reports
# Select an Import row
# Enter the Input File Format (iff) and Input URL (i), like so:
## iff=ged i=http://arborvita.free.fr/Kennedy/Kennedy.ged
## iff=gramps i=http://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gramps/trunk/example/gramps/example.gramps?revision=18333
# Press the "Run" button
# The data will begin to be imported. (Because the data is going into a sqlite3 database backend as a default, you won't be able to do much until the import is done. Warning: this is a bit slow at the moment!)
# Once the import is done, you can browse most of the data (it is all there (except tags), which you can verify with an export)
 
Finally, you can also export data to Django while running the Gramps desktop version. Just select the Django export option. This is also a bit slow at the moment.
