== Linux ==
Gramps 36.40.x is the main current version, and is available in packaged form for some most distributions.
Gramps 3.4.x is a new the legacy version , that has different requirements.
Building from source on Linux is described [[Linux:Build from source|here]]
== MS Windows ==
* Gramps 3.1.x to 3.4.x installer (minimal) - Stable installer, however it requires you to install all of Gramps dependencies prior to installing Gramps. see [[Windows_installer#Installation | Installing Windows dependencies first.]]
* Additional information for Windows users is on page [[Gramps and Windows]].
* The native windows support for Gramps 4.0 is being worked on.x. You find the current walkthrough a walk-through [[Run_Gramps40_for_Windows_from_source_using_Python_2.7.3|on the dedicated page]]
Fortunately for users of Microsoft Windows, some users have made a [[Windows installer]]. So far there have not been any reports of serious differences between the official builds of Gramps and the Windows Installer, so the future looks promising, but please, use this at your own riskis available.
== Mac OS X ==
There are several different ways of building Gramps from source on macOS/Mac OS X. An overview of building from source is given at [[Mac OS X:Build from source]].
[[Mac OS X:Build from source:MacPorts|Macports]] and [[Mac OS X:Build from source:fink|fink]] versions of Gramps have been used.
The latest version of MacPorts Gramps is '''{{version_MacPort}}'''.
The latest official unstable fink version is '''[http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/gramps 3.0.4]''' for Mac OS X 10.5 on both PPC and Intel. There is currently no official stable fink version of Gramps. (As at February 2012)
Instructions for building the pre-built binary version (Mac OX X Application package) are given at [[Mac OS X:Build from source:Application package]]. Some discussion about earlier attempts is at [[Mac OS X:Build from source:gtk-osx]] with bugs reported at [[Mac OS X:Build from source:gtk-osx:bugs]]
* For FreeBSD use the [http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=science&portname=gramps /usr/ports/science/gramps] port. In case of error on FreeBSD 8.0, read ticket #{{bug|3228}}.
* For OpenBSD use the [http://openports.se/misc/gramps gramps port]
* Installing on BSD is as straightforward as on Linux, apart from some minor issues like tools having different names. See the [[BSD Platformsplatforms|BSD pageplatforms]] page for details.
* Gramps has been successfully installed from source on both Solaris 10 (SPARC) and OpenSolaris X86 (2008.05). Please see the [[Solaris Platforms|Solaris page]] for step-by-step details.
Gramps can run fine on some small-factor devices. Users have been successful in using Gramps on:
* [[Gramps on the Eee|Asus Eee PC]]
* [httphttps://gramps-project.org/blog/2011/01/gramps-mobile-interface-part-i/ Gramps Mobile Interface – part I] & [httphttps://gramps-project.org/blog/2011/01/gramps-mobile-interface-%E2%80%93-part-ii/ part II]
== Additional software Gramps can benefit from ==
