You can choose to build SparkleShare from source or to get the package through your distribution's repositories. To run SparkleShare, you'll need the following packages:
Note: Git 1.9 changed the way local projects without a history are handled, and may cause protocol errors. Until a solution is found, it's recommended to use Git 1.8.
git 1.8.x
gtk-sharp3
mono-core >= 2.8
notify-sharp
webkitgtk-sharp
Note: These packages may not overlap with the packages required to perform a build, so please make sure that at least the above packages are installed.
Optional packages:
gvfs (to change file/folder icons)
libappindicator (for Ubuntu integration)
curl (to make the "sparkleshare://" protocol handler work)
You will need the packages listed below for the most used Linux distributions:
desktop-file-utils
intltool
libtool
mono-devel
mono-gmcs
mono-mcs
monodevelop
nant
