== Roadmap ==
See the [[modRana_Roadmap| roadmap]] wiki page for the current modRana roadmap. In short, the main item on the current roadmap is a new Qt based GUI, in addition to the current GTK based one.

== Supported devices ==
=== Maemo 5 @ N900 ===
ModRana is conveniently available directly from the location&navigation category in Extras-Devel.

=== MeeGo 1.2 @ N9,N950 ===
Porting to Harmattan is a work in progress - see the [[modRana_Roadmap| roadmap] for more info. It is already possible to run modRana with the currently available GTK GUI but it should be much more usable once the Qt based GUI is in a usable state.

=== SHR @ OpenMoko Neo FreeRunner ===
ModRana also runs on this good-old open hardware smartphone, get packages from the [http://modrana.org/trac/wiki/SystemDownloadEN#shr| Neo download section].

=== Manual installation ===
First make sure you have the core dependencies:
* Python 2.5+
* GTK
* CAIRO
* PyGTK
There are also some optional dependencies that modRana will use if available:
* espeak - for voice output

Then download the [http://modrana.org/trac/wiki/SystemDownloadEN#tarball| tarball], unpack it somewhere and run the '''modrana.py''' file.
You can make modRana use a specific device module by suppliing a command line argument:
* neo - modRana will use the Neo FreeRunner device module
* n900 - modRana will use the N900 device module
* android_chroot - modRana will use the device module for Android  chroot
