How to install GrNotify?

GrNotify is written in Python based on PyGTK libraries so it will firmly integrate with Gnome!

There are two ways of installing Grnotify, you either use the deb (for Debian based operating systems) or you can download the .tar.gz source files so you can install it on any linux based system (A Windows port would probably also work but we do not offer support for the port)

- .deb package install
Just go to the download page and download the latest .deb installer, open it with dpkg using the gui or using the command line by entering the command:

sudo dpkg --install PACKAGE_NAME.deb

where PACKAGE_NAME is the name of the file!
The Debian Package Manager will then automatticaly install any depencies needed by GrNotify.
You can then execute the program by entering

grnotify

in a terminal or program executer.

- Source install
Go to the download page and download the latest .tar.gz source install package. Extract the package using the gui or by using the command line:

tar -xzvf PACKAGE_NAME.tar.gz

where PACKAGE_NAME is the name of the file!
Change the current directory to the extracted directory and install GrNotify by executing the following command:

sudo python ./install.py

The program will then install itself into the right directories. You can then execute the program by entering

grnotify

in a terminal or program executer.

Special Note for the Source Installation:
