From Gramps
start Gramps on different platforms, and how the language is determined
==Start Gramps==
The way you start Gramps depends on the operating system you are using.
=== Linux ===
Only the Linux platform is officially supported as Gramps developers use and test the source code on that platform, fixing any problems that arise due to upgrades.
If you installed Gramps via one of the installation packages, an entry for Gramps will have been created in the Application menu. In Linux Gramps is normally installed in the '''Office''' section.
