''Note: Some == Linux distributions may have a slightly different way to download and install packages for GRAMPS. Please read the installation instructions specific to your distribution before downloading.''==

In all other cases, you must [http[Image://sourceforgeLinux_220x261.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=25770 downloadpng|128px|left]] the source package zzz.tar.gz, and install GRAMPS manually. See below for details.

For more recent versions of GRAMPS in Windows, you need to wait untill a new installer is made available.

==Gnome and KDEMS Windows ==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 [[KDE page]] to know what these problems might be.

=Additional software GRAMPS can benefit from=GRAMPS does not rely on the following programs, however, having them will increase your productivity[[Image:windows_180x160.png|128px|left]]

* '''Gnome-print'''Before download: 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).* Use your '''Spell checking''': Installing python-gnome2-extras provides the gtkspell module, which adds spell checking in the notes* '''Graphviz''', '''Inkscapeold version of Gramps''': 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)[[How_to_make_a_backup#Gramps_version_3. This gives you as researcher most power over how 3_and_later|backup]] 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.* '''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 outputFamily Trees [[#1|[1]]].
