Before upgrading your distribution Use your earlier version of Gramps to backup your Family Trees to the hardy and portable XML format1. |
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 are available in the wiki.
This installer supports Microsoft Windows in all versions Vista/7 and later.
After download: double-click to install Gramps.
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.
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 back-up into this new 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.
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.
