Research, organize and share your family tree with Gramps.

Gramps Current version: 5.2.2 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

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:

Source Package 5.2.2

Debian Package 5.2.2

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

Microsoft Windows

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

Windows Installer (64-bit) 5.2.2

Windows Installer (32-bit) 5.1.5

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

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

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.

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

+For BSD, we recommend installing and upgrading Gramps using the '''[https://wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_software_package_management_systems package manager]''' provided by your [[BSD platforms#BSD_distributions|distribution]].
-==Gnome - KDE==
+Advanced users can [[Linux:Build from source|build from source]] using the link in the Linux section.
-You can use both, but GRAMPS fits in better with GNOME. For KDE there are some minor issues due to some (GTK) issues outside of GRAMPS. Check the wiki KDE page to know what these problems might be.
-=Additional software GRAMPS can benefit from=
+Further information can be found on the [[BSD platforms]] page in the wiki.
-GRAMPS does not rely on the following programs, however, having them will increase your productivity:
+{{-}}
+<hr />
-* '''Gnome-print''': It adds the ability to directly print, to preview, and to generate fully internationalized PS and PDF output. At this time, one needs to install gnome-python-desktop to obtain this package (it might be known under different names, eg on debian python-gnome2-desktop).
+{{man tip|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 [[How_to_restore_a_backup|'''Import''' the backup]] into this new Family Tree.}}
-* '''Spell checking''': Installing python-gnome2-extras provides the gtkspell module, which adds spell checking in the notes
+{{-}}
-* '''Graphviz''', '''Inkscape''': Gramps can make nice Genealogical trees (relationship graphs). These are generated by the Graphviz package, which defines a code (dot), as well as programs to produce graphs (dotty, to be called from command line). This gives you as researcher most power over how your tree will look, but has a learning curve. An alternative is to make a graphical report, converting the tree to an svg file, which you then can open/edit/refine in eg Inkscape.
+<br />
-* '''ttf-freefont''': Useful as a font that supports a large subset of the unicode and is a true type. This works well with both gnomeprint and graphviz output.

-# The lastest stable version of GRAMPS can be downloaded from the GRAMPS SourceForge page. As of writing this is gramps-2.2.6.tar.gz. Extract this file in a directory: tar xzvf gramps-zzz.tar.gz, and go into this directory: cd gramps.
-# If you are interested in testing out the latest development version of GRAMPS, it can be obtained from SVN, see the wiki entry. The SVN version of GRAMPS is potentially very dangerous as it has not been extensively tested. It may be prone to crashing and cause extensive data loss. Please use with caution.
+[[Category:Documentation]]
-Please, now is the time to read the INSTALL and README files accompanying the code. They come with the most recent information.
-==Installing from source code on Linux==
-GRAMPS provides a script that can be used to prepare the code for building. This script automatically calls the standard configure script.
-./autogen.sh
-This script will report any missing dependencies. Install these (see also INSTALL file). Building from source code typically requires that the development versions of the required libraries be installed. You might consider setting a prefix path with autogen.sh, see the INSTALL file for instructions. Standard install is in
-Once a successful run of autogen.sh has been completed, you can run the typical make procedure.
-make
-make install
-==Installing from source code on BSD==
-Installing on BSD is as straithforward as on linux, apart from some minor issues like tools having different names. See the dedicated wiki page.
-==Installing from source code on Mac OS X==
-Some users have successfully installed GRAMPS on Mac OS X. See the dedicated wiki page. Please, add to the wiki if you successfully installed GRAMPS on OS X.
-==Installing from source code on Windows==
-Due to the dependencies, it is difficult to install GRAMPS on Windows. Fortunately some users have made an installer hiding all these details. See the Windows page. Use this at your own risk! The developers of GRAMPS provide the space for this install page, but are not responsible for it!
-==Installing from source code in Solaris==
-Previous versions of GRAMPS have run on Solaris. No recent cases are know to us however. Should you have successfully installed GRAMPS on solaris, please update the wiki.
