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

Installation From Source Code

To run Picard you need at least:

Optionally also:

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.
