I’m running the Gramps 6.0.0 deb package on Linux Mint 22.1 with Cinnamon version 6.4.8. I’ve been testing out the WikiTree integration gramplet, which requires WebKit2 for full functionality. According to the Prerequisites listing for a different addon (HTMLView), WebKit is not installed. This is t…

[image] EConnolly: According to the Prerequisites listing for a different addon (HTMLView), WebKit is not installed. The HTMLView is very old and requires WebKit 3.0 which is not available in your distribution.

Good to know! Luckily, the WikiTree gramplet uses 4.0, and I did manage to get it working on my virtual machine. On further investigation, the issue is definitely a missing Python module. I just can’t figure out which of the many Python deb packages, if any, has the WebKit2 module. EDIT: Specifica…
