The '''Gramps "software bundle " for Windows''' or '''GrampsAIO''' is an all-in-one aka (a.k.a. "AIO" install ) installation package of Gramps that which includes all dependencies for the Windows platform. (See also [[Gramps and Windows]].)
Logic for AIO is Not only are all dependencies included ("bundled"), so that in Windows users do not have to first search path is working directory (manually install each one of them, but they areinstalled in which program is started) so if any such a fashion that Gramps dependency is in same directory there is no need for him to look for can easily find them in system and possibly load incompatible one thus avoid dependency hell. This is reason why AIO must be started from AIO folder.
In newer Windows version there my be security restriction with shell scripts so AIO does not use For the technically sophisticated, GrampsAIO is rebuild-able: it contains an install script which can make a new installable program from the installed one.
It is rebuild-ableFor example somebody might like to repackage Gramps with their code changes, it contains install script which can make new setup program from installed oneor favorite addons, or even their own family trees, etc.
If ==Technical details==The logic for example somebody like this bundle is that in Windows the first entry in the search path is the current working directory (the one in which the program is started), so if any Gramps dependency is in that same directory there is thus no need to repackage Gramps look for that dependency in a system folder and possibly load an incompatible one -- thus "dependency hell" is avoided. This is also the reason why GrampsAIO must be started from its own folder. Also, in newer Windows versions there may be security restriction with their code change, favorite addons, family trees etcshell scripts so GrampsAIO does not use one. )
==Installation folder==This distribution is directory based, which means it loads all dependencies from the directory in which they have been installed so if you want to use it from console/terminal (dos/cmd.exe prompt) you must first go to their directory as: cd C:\GrampsAIO\bin; python -EO ..\share\gramps\gramps.py .
That folder's location depends on whether the person doing the installation has administrative rights on the Windows machine. If an administrator installs it the directory may be chosen, with the default suggestion being %ProgramFiles%\GrampsAIO (for example C:\Program Files\GrampsAIO). If a non-administrator installs it, it will be placed in the user's personal tree, in %APPDATA%\GrampsAIO (for example C:\Documents and Settings\Jones\Application Data\GrampsAIO). So if you want to use it from the console/terminal (dos/cmd.exe prompt) you must first go to the directory where those dependencies were installed (GrampsAIO\bin); for example: <pre>cd C:\GrampsAIO\bin; python -EO ..\share\gramps\gramps.py</pre> (but the installation may have been put somewhere else and so you should probably first search for the GrampsAIO\bin folder to make sure). ==Why:GrampsAIO was made==
* easy installation:
** no searching web for appropriate packagepackages
** one click install
* no dependency hell:
** all libraries can work one together** on upgrade version of a library rebuild all others other libraries are rebuilt with that version
==How:GrampsAIO was made==* put Place all software Gramps needs in one package:# all core non-python library libraries and applications# any optional non-python library libraries and applications
# python bindings for core libraries
# python bindings for optional libraries
* use NSIS (Nullsoft Script-able Install System)
==Software releasereleases:== The preferred way to get the GrampsAIO bundle is to download it from the official Gramps software repository. See [[Download#MS Windows|Download]] for the current version and link to it. You can follow progress of GrampAIO-4 bundle development at their [[GrampsAIO-4|page]] Older versions or developmental versions are available directly from the GrampsAIO bundle's author.
