Install OSM GPS Map from command line

Asked by Marylene Goulet

Hi,

I've recently switched to Ubuntu 14.04 TLS, I'm trying to find a workaround to use the GRAMPS software (genealogy data) to its full capabilities but I cannot seem to install the module OSM-GPS-Map for Geography. I've tried already some command lines in the terminal :
- sudo dpkg -i libosmgpsmap-1.0-0_1.0.2-1_amd64.deb
- sudo dpkg -i gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0_1.0.2-1_amd64.deb
- apt-get install python-osmgpsmap
It didn't work. I'm not quite sure how to compile a tar.gz package either.
Could somebody point out a walkthrough that I could use?
Thanks in advance to the community.

Marylene

What is the output of your dpkg commands? Just saying "doesn't work" tells us absolutely nothing

There are two ready-packaged gramps packages available for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:

gramps (4.0.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1) in trusty-updates
and
gramps (4.0.4+dfsg-1~ubuntu14.04.1) in trusty-backports (including a "recommends" for gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0)

I assume the best way to install an osm-capable version of gramps is the following:

Open software-center, use the settings-dialogue to activate the trusty-backports repository, reload the package inventory and then install gramps and gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 with software-center.

Andrew: Sorry, i forgot to mention that, it says "no archive of that type". Is this because it's a package like tar.gz?

Manfred: I tried your solution but I haven't seen the "recommendation", I reinstalled everything from scratch but no way to install this particular module?

I just ran it and there is no output, just my normal command line

Have you enabled the trust-backports repository?

What is the output of the commands

sudo apt-get update
apt-cache policy gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0

Yes I have enabled the trust-backports repository as you indicated.
Several packages were downloaded with sudo apt-get update
The next command indicated that it was not installed.

I restarted my pc and launched the software center and I found the gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 on the Gramps page, installed it.

Thanks a bunch for all the help!
