We can't easily provide dictionaries for all of the supported languages in the bundle, but they're easily downloaded from [http://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.}} {{-}} == BSD == [[File:Bsd daemon.jpg|128px|left]] Before upgrading your distribution: Use your '''old version of Gramps''' to [[How_to_make_a_backup#Gramps_version_3.3_and_later|backup]] your Family Trees [[#1|[1]]]. <big><u>[[Download#Linux and BSD distributions|via Distributions]]</u> <u>[[Download#Linux:_Install_latest_version|Latest version (advanced users only)]]</u></big>{{-}} == Live CD == [[Image:Download_link.png|150px|left|link=http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/OldFiles/3.2.5/lgenealogy-6.1-desktop-i386.iso]]'''Linux live CD Demonstration''' includes Gramps {{Version Linux Live CD}} pre-installed to trial, without touching anything on the hard drive.

== Linux: Install latest version ==
If your distribution doesn't ship with Gramps or you wish to install a different version than it ships with, you could try to install the latest version of Gramps manually. Instructions are given below for a number of distributions.
{{man warn|1=Warning|2=This should only be attempted by experienced users, and after you have backed up your Family Tree.
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.}}
[[Image:Debianopenlogo-32.png]]'''[[Debian]]''' and [[Image:Ubuntu_32x32.png]]''' Ubuntu ''' [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/Stable/{{version}} Download the .deb file]. Double-click on the downloaded .deb file or (for some distributions, e.g. Mint Debian) run the following command from the directory where the file was saved (change the filename to match the one you downloaded).
sudo dpkg -i python-gramps_{{version}}-1_all.deb
or
sudo dpkg -i python3-gramps_{{version}}-1_all.deb
For other distributions, [[Image:Download_link.png|150px|link=http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/Stable/{{version}}/gramps-{{version}}.tar.gz]] the source and follow the instructions for [[Linux:Build from source]]
== Notes ==
[<span id="1">1</span>]
Backup to Gramps XML. You will find backup in the Family Tree menu of recent Gramps versions, otherwise use export in the same menu but '''uncheck privacy options''' in the Exporter Assistant in order to export all data
[<span id="2">2</span>]
Alternatively, you can click and hold on the disk icon at the top of the window of the mounted disk, and then option-drag to the Applications folder. This will create a new folder containing all the files, including the README and NEWS.
[<span id="3">3</span>]
An alternative independent '''Legacy''' version is [http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Gramps%20Portable/ GrampsPortable_{{version_windows_portable}}.paf.exe] (29.0 MB)
[http://portableapps.com/apps/education/gramps_portable Portable Gramps from PortableApps.com] includes all dependencies required for Windows.
