Installing the module

To install GVExport, go to the Releases page and download the latest release. Unzip the file, the GVExport folder into the modules_v4 directory of webtrees.

In Webtrees, go to My Pages -> Control Panel, in the Modules section go to Geneology -> Charts, then check the Enable checkbox and click Save at the bottom of the page.

You can then access GVExport from the Charts menu in webtrees.

For more specific instructions, read on.

If you haven't installed webtrees yet, see the official install instructions.

Standard install through command line

Go to the Releases page and copy the download link of the latest release.

Go to your webtrees directory in the terminal, e.g. /var/www/webtrees

Go into the modules_v4 directory, creating it if it doesn't exist.

Then download the file, e.g.:

wget https://github.com/Neriderc/GVExport/archive/refs/tags/v2.1.3.tar.gz

Then extract the file:

tar -xf v2.1.3.tar.gz

Tidy up by deleting the compressed file:

rm v2.1.3.tar.gz

In Webtrees, go to My Pages -> Control Panel, in the Modules section go to Geneology -> Charts, then check the Enable checkbox and click Save at the bottom of the page.

You can then access GVExport from the Charts menu in webtrees.

Install in docker-compose

If you've used docker-compose to install webtrees (such as through this unofficial image, as webtrees doesn't provide an official one), the easiest way is to map a bind mount in your docker-compose file within the volumes section, e.g.:

volumes:
      - ./modules_v4:/var/www/webtrees/modules_v4

Then add the modules_v4 on your host and follow the above instructions. You'll need to refresh your container, i.e.: docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d
