Latest Testing Release - 0.9.0alpha4
- Windows Installer (6.6M)
- Source Code Tarball (369K)
- Ubuntu package (for 7.04 "Feisty" only):
deb http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/users/luks/ubuntu feisty musicbrainz
Development Source Code
The source code is maintained in a Bazaar branch at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~luks/picard/qt-port. To download it you need to install Bazaar and run:
bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~luks/picard/qt-port picard-qt
If you already have the branch and want to update it, use:
bzr pull
- Ubuntu Feisty: To get the right bazaar version, install package bzr, not bazaar. To build picard-qt from the source, you need to:
sudo apt-get install g++ python-dev libexpat-dev python-qt4 python-mutagen
sudo apt-get libavformat-dev libofa0-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
(This is from my experience, feel free to add anything else you notice. --Bogdanb)
Installation From Source Code
To run Picard you need at least:
Optionally also:
- libdiscid (and ctypes if you use Python 2.4) for CD lookups
- libofa
- libavformat/libavcodec
- DirectX SDK
Once you have installed the requirements, you can compile the C extensions:
python setup.py config <edit build.cfg if neccessary> python setup.py build_ext -i
And now you can start Picard:
python tagger.py
Mac OS X Installation Notes
A rough installation guide is available here: MacOSXPicardQtInstallationGuide
The Apple supplied python 2.3 in OSX 10.4.x will not work with picard, and some of the dependencies listed above expect a framework version of python. http://pythonmac.org/packages/ provides a framework python 2.4 which seems to work.
