4.1 What you need to use gnome-akfavatar.

The command gnome-akfavatar is a shell script, so it needs a Bourne shell. It has been tested with GNU bash, but any POSIX-compatible Bourne shell should be sufficient.

Then it needs the command avatarsay. It is searched in the PATH and also in the current directory.

For the visible interface it uses the program zenity. As text-editor it needs gedit and as help browser it uses yelp. These commands have to be in your PATH. They are usually included with GNOME.

Since the command avatarsay is also looked up in the current directory the package need not be installed. But the documentation has to be installed in order to view it from gnome-akfavatar.
