Record depends on Python, Sugar Toolkit for GTK+ 3, and PyGObject bindings for GStreamer 1 and GTK+ 3.

Record is started by Sugar.

Record is packaged by Fedora. On Fedora systems;

dnf install sugar-record

Record is no longer packaged by Debian and Ubuntu distributions. When it was packaged, it was called sugar-record-activity. On Debian and Ubuntu systems dependencies include;

• python
• python-gobject
• python-cairo
• python-sugar3
• gir1.2-glib-2.0
• gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0
• gir1.2-gtk-3.0
• gir1.2-pango-1.0
• gir1.2-telepathyglib-0.12
• gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0

For virtual machines, set the RECORD_TEST environment variable before starting the activity, and the GStreamer videotestsrc will be used.

The master branch targets an environment with latest stable release of Sugar, with dependencies on latest stable release of Fedora and Debian distributions.

The not-gstreamer1 branch is a backport of features and bug fixes from the master branch for ongoing maintenance of the activity on Fedora 18 systems which don't have well-functioning GStreamer 1 packages.
