## Downloading GPSMan

The GPSMan site makes available GPSMan (version 6.4.4.1) for downloading. Debian, Fedora and RPM from `.deb` packages as well as a FreeBSD port are also available for easy installation in Linux. GPSMan can also be retrieved as part of the Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora official Linux distributions, FreeBSD Unix, 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; it is available from its page
- `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`.
