gPhoto2 first steps

Software gPhoto
1

What (language?) should I learn in order to use gPhoto2 from the terminal and not just press the laptop’s space bar or click on the graphic interphase to take pictures?

http://gphoto.org/doc/manual/ref-gphoto2-cli.html#cli-examples has many interesting commands, but I don’t know what I need to study and install first -I’m guessing Python.

What you link to, gphoto2, is a command line client. You use it from your terminal. You can use a shell scripting language like bash to interact with it.

If you want to use libgphoto2, the library, you’ll need a programing language like Python.

Thanks. My first step, then, is learning the difference between gphoto2 and libgphoto2.
