This executable installer supports Microsoft Windows in versions 8, 10, 11 (64-bit Only) and later.
Before downloading the [[All_In_One_Gramps_Software_Bundle_for_Windows|All-In-One software installer bundle for Windows]]: Use your '''earlier version of Gramps''' to [[How_to_make_a_backup#Gramps_version_3.3_and_later|backup]] your Family Trees to the hardy and portable [[#1|XML format<sup>1</sup>]].
 
 
 
This installer supports Microsoft Windows in all versions [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/lifecycle Vista/7] and later. The 64-bit versions of Windows allow more efficient access to more resources.
 
 
 
(''Please note: Gramps prefers the Python-3.5 and Gtk-3.18 libraries and newer. Those libraries have dropped support for Windows XP. But Gramps can still be run on Windows XP with earlier library versions, i.e., Python3.4.4 and Gtk-3.16'')

After download: '''double-click to install Gramps'''.
{{man note|''The {{version_windows_AIO64}} and {{version_windows_AIO64}}-2 installers are the '''same version of the Gramps program'''. |Only the compilation of the installer was changed.

After download: '''double-click to install Gramps'''. <br>By default: new releases will be added in a new directory and earlier installations of Gramps will ''not'' be overwritten; the language will be a [[#Missing_other_languages|mix of British and US English]].

Alternatives to the All-In-One installer include the [[Installing_Gramps_for_Windows_computers#PortableApps.com|PortableApps.com]] and [[Installing_Gramps_for_Windows_computers#Chocolatey_NuGet_Package|Chocolatey NuGet Package]]. Advanced users can install Gramps from source using the [[Gramps_for_Windows_with_MSYS2|MSYS2]] build environment.

The default Gramps AIO installer will embed the US dialect of English for the interface with the British spellcheck dictionary.
+
Before downloading read the [[Mac_OS_X:Application_package#Before_installation|before installation]] instructions.
 
 
If you prefer a different language (or spell with the US or Australian dialects of English), please ensure that you pay special attention to the Choose Components phase of the installation.
 
 
 
To install a language other than English, select from both the '''Translations''' ''and'' '''Dictionaries''' during the Choose Components phase of the installation.
 
 
 
Even your primary language is installed by default, you might anticipate the need to spellcheck Notes in other than the British dialect of English. Be certain to select the appropriate languages from '''Dictionaries'''. Gramps will not access your Operating System's native dictionary.
 
 
 
There is no simple facility for adding interface or dictionary languages after installation.

=== Adding additional Spell Checking languages on macOS ===
 
{{man tip|[[Mac_OS_X:Application_package#Dictionaries|Spell Checking:]]|Gramps uses a different spell checker than the one provided by Mac OS X, with different spelling dictionary requirements. We can't easily provide dictionaries for all of the supported languages in the bundle, but they're easily downloaded from [https://extensions.openoffice.org/ OpenOffice.org's website]. Download the language you want and save it, then navigate to the download in Finder. Most browsers have a downloads window that offers "Show in Finder" in its context menu. Change the file extension from <tt>oxt</tt> to <tt>zip</tt>, then from the context menu select '''Open with... Archive Utility''' to decompress it. In the decompressed folder or perhaps in a subfolder you'll find the dictionary files in pairs, <tt>foo.aff</tt> and <tt>foo.dic</tt>. Some languages have more than one pair with a README file to explain why. Select a pair and copy it to /Library/Dictionaries (you'll have to authenticate with an administrator id and password), and if 'foo' isn't already a language or locale code, make it one. For example, the French package includes several pairs with names like <tt>fr-moderne.aff</tt> and <tt>fr-moderne.dic</tt>. The spell checker doesn't recognize those names, so when you copy them to /Library/Dictionaries you must rename them to <tt>fr.aff</tt> and <tt>fr.dic</tt> or <tt>fr_FR.aff</tt> and <tt>fr_FR.dic</tt>. You can have more than one dictionary pair installed if you use several languages, but one '''must''' match the language you use for Gramps or spell checking won't be enabled at all.}}

== Notes ==

<span id="1">Backup to '''Gramps XML''' format when updating. ''Although Gramps reads and writes '''GEDCOM 5.5.1''' format fluently (because it is the de facto format for genealogical data interchange), never depend on such a rudimentary format for archiving your research. GEDCOM cannot store all the intricacies found in Gramps data.'' Always backup with the more robust Gramps XML format.</span>

Most Linux distributions come bundled with a version of Gramps, though it's not always the most recent version and it may not have been installed by default. Still it is recommended to use the Gramps version that comes with your distribution.
 
  
Below are ways to install Gramps on some of the more popular distributions:
+
You will find a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Backing_up_a_Family_Tree|{{Man menu|Make Backup...}}]] option in the {{Man menu|Family Trees}} menu of recent Gramps versions. Alternately, use [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Exporting_data|{{Man menu|Export...}}]] in the same menu but deselect the privacy and filtering options in the Exporter Assistant to avoid omission of any data.

The version of Gramps that has been included in your distribution will have been tested to work with the components in that distribution. If you try to install a different version of Gramps there is a possibility that the components needed for the new version of Gramps are not available for your distribution, or they are available, but don't work properly. You might not discover that there is a problem till you have already done some work with the new version of Gramps.

If you already have Gramps installed, and you are only making a 'point' upgrade (i.e. from Gramps x.y.z to x.y.z+1, e.g. from 3.4.3 to 3.4.4), then it is likely but not certain that Gramps will continue to work. However, if the change is much greater, especially if it is a major version change (e.g. from 2.y.z to 3.y.z), then the danger that it does not work properly is much greater.}}

* [https://www.grampsweb.org/Deployment/ Docker]  
 
+
* [https://www.grampsweb.org/LetsEncrypt/ Let's Encrypt and Docker Compose]
sudo apt-get -f install
 
 
 
to install the dependencies.
 
 
 
If you see an error about language support when starting Gramps, run
 
 
 
sudo apt install language-pack-gnome-en
 
 
 
to install the proper language pack. You may need to replace 'en' with your own language code, like 'nl' for Dutch.
 
 
==== Useful command lines ====
 
Before upgrading you can[https://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/mailman/message/35460486/]:
 
 
 
* Find out what version you are running, by using this:
 
 
 
    dpkg-query -s gramps
 
 
 
that queries the package and gives you info about it.
 
 
 
* If you are committed to an upgrade then make sure you have backed up you Family Trees to Gramps XML then run :
 
 
 
    sudo dpkg -r gramps
 
 
 
this will remove the current gramps package (assuming its a python3 version older versions could be python-gramps )
 
 
 
* To stop Ubuntu updating gramps (to possibly an older version from Ubuntu!) you may need to run:
 
 
 
    sudo apt-mark hold gramps
 
 
 
'''Upgrade is then complete.'''
 
 
 
=== Flathub ===
 
 
 
Gramps 5.1.3 is available in a flatpak at flathub.
 
 
 
{{man note|Please use your existing installation to backup your database before proceeding.|Also, it is a good idea to [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Converting_a_BSDDB_Family_Tree_to_SQLite|convert your database to SQLite]] even though there is currently BSDDB3 support in the 5.1.3 flatpak.}}
 
 
 
First set up flatpak and the flathub repository on your system, there are instructions for various distributions at https://flatpak.org/setup/
 
 
 
Second, you can use the blue install button at https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gramps_project.Gramps if you set your software manager up to work with flathub, or use the command below in a terminal for a system wide installation if you have sudo privileges:

Research, organize and share your family tree with Gramps.

Gramps-notes.png
Gramps Current version: 5.2.1 Released: 2024-03-24

For a list of updates see: What's new?

Before upgrading your distribution

Use your earlier version of Gramps to backup your Family Trees to the hardy and portable XML format.


Linux

Linux 220x261.png

For Linux, we recommend installing and upgrading Gramps using the package manager provided by your distribution or by installing a FlatPak available from Flathub.

For advanced users, a source package and Debian package are available:

Instructions for how to build from source or install a Debian package are available in the wiki.



Microsoft Windows

Windows 180x160.png

This executable installer supports Microsoft Windows in versions 8, 10, 11 (64-bit Only) and later.

After download: double-click to install Gramps.

Alternatives to the All-In-One installer include the PortableApps.com and Chocolatey NuGet Package. Advanced users can install Gramps from source using the MSYS2 build environment.

Older versions available for (Windows 7 64-bit: 5.1.6, Windows 7/8/10 32-bit: 5.1.5, Windows XP/Vista: 3.4.9)


Apple macOS

Macos 200x200.png

Before downloading read the before installation instructions.

After download: Double-click the .dmg file to mount the disk (note: your browser may do this for you automatically). Next, drag the Gramps application to your application folder and double-click to launch it.

Alternatives to the application package include the MacPorts and Homebrew package managers.


BSD platforms

Bsd daemon.png

For BSD, we recommend installing and upgrading Gramps using the package manager provided by your distribution.

Advanced users can build from source using the link in the Linux section.

Further information can be found on the BSD platforms page in the wiki.


Tango-Dialog-information.png
Normally, when you try to load your old Family Tree you can allow it to be upgraded if necessary, and it will be opened.

Should this fail for any reason, Create a new Family Tree and Import the backup into this new Family Tree.




Notes

Backup to Gramps XML format when updating. Although Gramps reads and writes GEDCOM 5.5.1 format fluently (because it is the de facto format for genealogical data interchange), never depend on such a rudimentary format for archiving your research. GEDCOM cannot store all the intricacies found in Gramps data. Always backup with the more robust Gramps XML format.

Menubar - "Family Trees > Make Backup..."

You will find a Make Backup... option in the Family Trees menu of recent Gramps versions. Alternately, use Export... in the same menu but deselect the privacy and filtering options in the Exporter Assistant to avoid omission of any data.

See: How to make a backup
