''' Please, if you want participate to the dev of EasyCam, contact me at 'jbtheou in gmail dot com'. Anbreizh Thanks '''

{i} '''These instructions are only applicable for a previous release of Ubuntu'''. If you are not using Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04), these instructions will not work. 

[[http://blognux.free.fr|EasyCam 2]] is a new release of EasyCam.

== Installation on 32 bit systems ==
You need to add the following repository to your source list [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu|Adding Repositories]]
{{{
deb http://blognux.free.fr/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://blognux.free.fr/ubuntu hardy main
}}}

Then you need to update the packages 
{{{
sudo apt-get update
}}}
and install the '''easycam''' package :
 * If you use Gnome : 
{{{
sudo apt-get install easycam2-gtk
}}}
 * If you use Kde :
{{{
sudo apt-get install easycam2-qt
}}}

== Installation on 64 bit systems ==
''note: instructions found on [[http://blognux.free.fr/?p=27]]''

1. First, install the dependencies:
{{{
sudo apt-get install python-xml cheese
}}}
''note: python-xml was permanently removed from Ubuntu under karmic. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-xml/+bug/343242?comments=all''

2. Now, download the core and install it:
{{{
wget http://blognux.free.fr/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/easycam2-core.deb
sudo dpkg -i easycam2-core.deb
}}}
 2a. I must did a: 'sudo apt-get -f install' for dependencies problem with the core.

3. Install '''EasyCam'''
 * On Gnome
{{{
wget http://blognux.free.fr/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/easycam2-gtk.deb
sudo dpkg -i easycam2-gtk.deb
}}}
 * On KDE
{{{
wget http://blognux.free.fr/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/easycam2-qt.deb
sudo dpkg -i easycam2-qt.deb
}}}

= Start easycam =

With the following command you start easycam (there is also an icon under Application->Utility):
 *In Gnome : 
{{{
gksudo 'python /usr/share/EasyCam2/core.py --gtk'
}}}
 *In Kde : 
{{{
kdesudo 'python /usr/share/EasyCam2/core.py --qt'
}}}
Now you can choose your webcam from the list. The software asks you if you want to install the driver.

After some compilation your webcam should be ready.
