How to build Gramps from source on Linux.  Building from source is appropriate for:
* Developers who need to be able to modify the source and have those modifications take effect.
* Packagers who need to be able to construct a package for installation by user.
Or use your distribution's package manager to uninstall if your old Gramps version was installed as a package.
= Gramps 6.0 and up= See https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/blob/master/INSTALL {{stub}} <!-- lots of changes and new requirements / also can be installed from pip etc --> = Gramps 4.2 and upto 5.2 =
{{man menu|Gramps 4.2 and beyond only work with Python 3.2 or greater.}} This should be handled automatically if Gramps is installed from your distro's repository.
