# gpt-deps(8)

Reports on an installation's package dependencies

## NAME

**gpt-deps** - Reports on an installation's package dependencies

## SYNOPSIS

gpt-deps \[ -help -man -version \] DependencyTypes

## DESCRIPTION

**gpt-deps** is an experimental script which prints out an html file that contains a hyperlinked report of dependencies for packages installed at `$GLOBUS_LOCATION`.  The output file is called ./deptable.html.  One or more of the following dependency types can be reported:

```
  Runtime - Packages needed at runtime
  Setup - Packages needed to set up localization data such as
          configuration files.
  Build - Packages needed to build other packages.
```

If you are confused by the dependency types, simply run 'gpt-deps Runtime Setup Build' and view ./deptree.html with your favorite browser. Be sure to set `$GLOBUS_LOCATION`.

## OPTIONS

- **-help**

  Print a brief help message and exits.

- **-man**

  Prints the manual page and exits.

- **-version**

  Prints the version of GPT and exits.

## BUGS

Future versions will provide more flexibility in inputs, and output formats.
