===Officially supported===* Only the Linux platform Gramps is officially supported as [[Portal:Developers|GRAMPS developers]] use a free software project and test the '''source code''' on community. We strive to produce a genealogy program that platformis both intuitive for hobbyists and feature-complete for professional genealogists. It is a community project, created, fixing any problems that arise due to upgradesdeveloped and governed by genealogists.

However if this fails for any reason, '''Create''' a new Family Tree and '''Import''' the back-up into this new Tree. {{man tip|Spell Checking:|Gramps uses a different spell checker than the one provided by Mac OS X, with different spelling dictionary requirements. We can't easily provide dictionaries for all of the supported languages in the bundle, but they're easily downloaded from [httpshttp://grampsextensions.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.svnaff</tt> and <tt>fr-moderne.sourceforgedic</tt>.netThe spell checker doesn't recognize those names, so when you copy them to /svnrootLibrary/grampsDictionaries you must rename them to <tt>fr.aff</tt> and <tt>fr.dic</branchestt> or <tt>fr_FR.aff</maintenancett> and <tt>fr_FR.dic</ Maintenancett>. 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]]<br/u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>[https[Download#Linux:_Install_latest_version|Latest version (advanced users only)]]</u></gramps.svnbig>{{-}} == Live CD == [[File:Download_link.png|150px|left|link=http://sourceforge.net/svnrootprojects/gramps/branchesfiles/gepsOldFiles/ GEPS3.2.5/lgenealogy-6.1-desktop-i386.iso]]<br>'''Linux live CD Demonstration''' includes Gramps {{Needs backupVersion Linux Live CD}}|<!pre-installed to trial, without touching anything on the hard drive.

Still it is recommended to use the Gramps version that comes with your distribution.

===Community supported===*A platform is community supported when users have created an installable version for that platform. Full functionality of GRAMPS is not guaranteed and some components may be disabled. Developers Below are dependent on the community ways to fix any issues that arise. The GRAMPS developers aim to have GRAMPS working install Gramps on all platforms, but have no resources to do specific testing to assure this is some of the case on release of a new version.more popular distributions:
