Hello all,
Disclaimer: I’m a few days into Gramps after deciding to try and move away from my old version of FamilyHistorian running on WINE, so very much trying to figure things out still after pulling over several thousand individuals in a GEDCOM and seeing what happened…
As I try to feel-out what capabilities exist with addon gramplets, I fear I’m going to have to learn how to manage multiple versions of python!
Easy example is NumPy and OpenCV aren’t detected for Photo Tagging, although I already have numpy for python3 & python3-opencv installed (presumably both are just installed/available to my system’s default python install). I do have the “allow gramps to install required Python modules” checked in the addon manager, but that doesn’t seem to have done the required magic.
Can someone help me with what needs to be done to get these python dependencies available for the Gramps environment?
Running Linux Mint 22
Gramps 5.2.3 installed via Flatpak.
running gramps -v I see that it looks like it’s using python located at: /usr/lib/python3.11 (vs my system default of 3.12.3)
Thanks so much! Hate being the needy one!
Steve
