## Downloading GPSMan

GPSMan (version 6.4.1) is available for downloading from the GPSMan site. Debian, Fedora and RPM from `.dev` packages as well as a FreeBSD port are available for easy installation in Linux. Updates for the current release can also be found there.

GPSMan can also be retrieved as part of the Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora official Linux distributions, and of the Linux Live-CDs AI9NL and GIS-Knoppix.

In order to run GPSMan, Tcl/Tk (preferably version 8.4 or later) must be previously installed. It can be got from the Active State site.

The following Tcl/Tk libraries will be used if they are installed:

- `gpsmanshp`, a library that provides the means for creating and reading files in the ESRI Shapefile format; there is a `gpsmanshp` site. Version 1.2 or newer should be installed.
- `Img`, a library implementing enhanced support for graphics and graphic formats; it is part of recent Tcl/Tk distributions.
- `exif`, a Tcl/Tk package that is part of the standard Tcl/Tk distribution, used here for trying to know the time-stamp of picture files when geo-referencing them.
- `TclCurl`, a library with bindings to `libcurl` that gives support for accessing World Wide Web servers; it is provided by the Debian Linux package `tclcurl`.
