Installation
------------

Before you install Genesis, you need to install all libraries Genesis depends
on. These are (with the debian package name):

* Python (python)
* PyGTK (python-gtk2)
* Python-notify and Libnotify (python-notify)
* Python-DBUS (python-dbus)
* PyXDG (python-xdg)
* Evolution python bindings (python-evolution or python-gnome2-desktop)
* ConfigObj (python-configobj)
* and of course SyncEvolution

If you have all dependencies installed, you can install genesis with the command:

    sudo python setup.py install --prefix /usr
    
You can start Genesis from the applications menu (under "Accessories") or from the command line with "genesis".

The preferred way to install Genesis is through the prepared debian packages.
