Introduction

This HOWTO will install the Webkit branch of Gwibber on Arch Linux

This HOWTO assumes you're using yaourt instead of pacman for your Arch Linux package manager. (Because one or more of the packages needed for this howto will be installed from AUR)

Prerequisites

I had to install the bazaar client before I could download the Gwibber code

yaourt -S bzr

Dependencies

Install the needed depenencies.

yaourt -S python-simplejson dbus-python python-notify pywebkitgtk-svn python-egenix-mx-base python-feedparser pyxdg python-distutils-extra pil

Then download the Gwibber and run the setup.

bzr branch lp:gwibber
cd gwibber/
sudo python setup.py install

Then you run Gwibber by typing gwibber in the command line or launching via the menu
