Instructions on [[Development using Eclipse and Pydev|installing and configuring Eclipse for Gramps development]]. Follow the [[Programming Guidelines|programming guidelines for Gramps]].
== Gramps 4.0 and the master branch ==
{{man note|Note|The steps in this section have been tested with Ubuntu 14.04}}
{{man warn|1=warningWarning|2=Do not open your existing databases with the master branch, it might destroy your data, and will make it impossible to use the data in the stable version {{stable_branch}}. To try it out, export your database to a gramps xml file, eg <code>test_master.gramps</code>, create a new family tree in the master branch, and import this xml file.}}
For the internationalization code to work, you need to have the translation tools.
