Because the 2 threads for the FamilyTreeView are absolutely HUGE (over 250 postings in each) having a Wiki article that talks about installation would be helpful.

## Key points for avoiding manual installation:

- installing pre-requistite
- Using the [Addon Manager](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_Glossary#addon)’s Projects tab for adding the path to curated FTV addon collection (for both Gramps 5.2 and 6.0)

- Noting that the Addons tab Status filter has to be set to `Beta` or `All statuses`. The **AbbreviatedNameDisplay Inspector** gramplet is `Developer` audience.
