When trying to run gramps directly from sources extracted from tar.gz file, gramps don't run :
This is because gramps is testing for the existence of the ".git" folder, which does not exist in the sources extracted from the tar.gz file.
I suggest testing for the existence of the "data" folder, which exists both in the sources obtained by "git clone" and those extracted from tar.gz.
