Documentation</p>
+<h4>Installing using packages</h4>
+<p> Refer to the <a href="download.html">download</a> to see how to download the tracker-packages for your
favourite distribution. Here we display only how the tracker packages are organized.
+</p>
+<p>
+<p>
+Every distribution has its own way to pack tracker, however you can recognise two main part:
+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>tracker</strong> -- Usually this one has no dependencies related to a Desktop Enviroment
and is the "desktop agnostic part". This basicly means you can install on KDE/XFCE/Fluxbox/* without
installing any GNOME-related dependecies.</li>
+ <li><strong>tracker-search-tool</strong> -- the Graphical User Interface to search using tracker.
This has GNOME-dependencies</li>
+</ul>
+
+We want to keep the indexer free from any specific dependences to a Desktop Enviroment.
+</p>
+<p>As example we write how to install using a Debian/Ubuntu system
+<ul>
+<li><code>apt-get install tracker tracker-utils</code> to install the indexer and the command line</li>
+
+<li><code>apt-get install tracker tracker-utils tracker-search-tool libdeskbar-tracker</code> to install the
Gnome GUI and the deskbar handler.</li>
+</ul>
<h3>Run tracker</h3>
<p>To run tracker simple digit <code>trackerd</code></p>
<p><strong>Tracker is indexing your home!!</strong></p>
<p>To search you can use :</p>
<ul>
<li>the command line <code>tracker-search</code></li>
- <li>the tracker-search-tool <code>tracker-search-tool</code></li>
+ <li>the tracker-search-tool <code>tracker-search-tool</code> <em>(If you have installed the relevant
package)</em></li>
</ul>
<p>For more information in how configure tracker read the README file or refer to <a
