Getting Webilder

Current version is 0.6.4, released on May 2, 2009.

NOTE: Webilder does not work with KDE 4. If you would like to help with porting it, please let me know.

On Ubuntu or Debian

Option 1: Download a deb file from GetDeb.

Option 2: Download from Behan Webster's Repository.

1. Add the appropriate source line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
   • For Debian sid (i386, amd64, powerpc or sparc):

     deb http://debian.websterwood.com/ sid main
     deb-src http://debian.websterwood.com/ sid main
         

   • For Debian etch (i386, amd64, powerpc or sparc):

     deb http://debian.websterwood.com/ etch main
     deb-src http://debian.websterwood.com/ etch main
         

   • For Ubuntu Hardy (i386, amd64, powerpc of sparc):

     deb http://debian.websterwood.com/ hardy main
     deb-src http://debian.websterwood.com/ hardy main
         

   • For Ubuntu Feisty (i386, amd64, powerpc of sparc):

     deb http://debian.websterwood.com/ feisty main
     deb-src http://debian.websterwood.com/ feisty main
         

2. Then do the following:

          # apt-get update
          # apt-get install webilder webilder-gnome webilder-kde
   

You can omit webilder-gnome or webilder-kde if you do not need GNOME or KDE support.

Download: Webilder-0.6.4.tar.gz. Please see the installation instructions..

1. Install dependencies, according to your distribution:
   
   • Debian or Ubuntu:
     

     # apt-get install python python-gtk2-dev python-gnome2 python-gnome2-dev \
             libglib2.0-dev python-gnome2-extras python-gnome2-extras-dev \
             python-imaging

   • Gentoo:

2. Extract the archive and install it. You'll only need root permissions for the last command:

   $ cd Webilder-0.6.4
   $ su
   Password:
   # python setup.py install --install-data=/usr
   

   KDE users should replace the last line with following:

   # python setup.py install --with-kde --install-data=/usr
   

Running Webilder

After installing Webilder, you should add it to your panel, so it can automatically download photos and change your wallpaper:

• GNOME Users: Right-click on the GNOME panel, choose "Add to panel", and select "Webilder Webshots Applet". If it is not in the list - log off and log in again.
• KDE Users: From the graphics menu, start KWebilder. Go to the preferences Window, to the Advanced Tab, and select KDE wallpapers settings.

Users who prefer the command line, can run webilder_desktop to configure Webilder and manage their photos. It is also possible to start photo downloading from the command line by starting webilder_downloader.
