Do I have to install gpg before using gpgme library?

[Peter Chen]

Dear All,

I am making development on an encryption tool based on the GPGME library.
As the gpgme manual describes, it uses GnuPG as one of its backends.
Then my question arises, if I want to encrypt/sign some messages with
OpenGPG protocol through GPGME , do I have to install gpg on my computer as
well?

Hope someone can help me:)
And if you answer my question, please cc me back, because I don't subscribe
as a member of gnupg-users.

Thank you
