# Chapter 2. Install notes

## Software Requirements

To compile and run DDCcontrol, you need to have these packages installed:

- libxml2

- pci-utils

- gtk+>=2.4

In addition to the library packages, you also need the development packages, which are not usually installed. For example, on Debian, their names are `libxml2-dev`, `pciutils-dev` and `libgtk2.0-dev`. Other distributions probably have similar package names. On Fedora Core 5, you will also need `gnome-panel-devel` package.

### Note

You don't need pci-utils if you don't use direct PCI memory access, and you don't need gtk+ if you don't plan to use the Gnome GUI. Usually, this is not the case, so you will almost certainly want these packages for compiling ddccontrol.
