Installation of Wicd should be done using your distribution package if one
exists. If not, the installation is relatively straightforward, but there
are a few dependencies:
1. python (>=2.4, <3.0)
2. pygtk (>=2.10)
2. dbus and its glib and python bindings
3. a dhcp client (dhclient, dhcpcd, and pump are supported)
4. wireless-tools (iwlist, iwconfig, etcetera)
5. net-tools (ip, route, etcetera)
6. a graphical sudo application (gksu, kdesu, and ktsuss are supported),
while optional, is strongly recommended
7. urwid (if you want to use the curses client - needs version >=0.9.8.3)
8. pm-utils (optional for suspend/resume integration)
Wicd supports using versions >=1.2.4 -- earlier versions may work just
fine, but they are completely unsupported here.
