Before upgrading your distribution: Use your '''old version of Gramps''' to [[How_to_make_a_backup#GRAMPS_version_3Gramps_version_3.3_and_later|backup]] your Family Trees [[#1|[1]]].

Before downloaddownloading the [[All_In_One_Gramps_Software_Bundle_for_Windows|All-In-One software installer bundle for Windows]]: Use your '''old earlier version of Gramps''' to [[How_to_make_a_backup#GRAMPS_version_3Gramps_version_3.3_and_later|backup]] your Family Trees to the hardy and portable [[#1|[XML format<sup>1]</sup>]].
After download: '''double-click to install Gramps'''. <br>By default: new releases will be added in a new directory and earlier installations of Gramps will ''not'' be overwritten; the language will be a [[#Missing_other_languages|mix of British and US English]].
If necessary, there is an alternative independent '''Legacy''' MS Windows [[Image:macos_200x200.png#2|128px|leftportable version<sup>2</sup>]].
There is no simple facility for adding interface or dictionary languages after installation.

<span id="Mac OS X><!-- backward compatibility hyperlinking anchor-->= BSD =macOS ==</span>[[File:macos_200x200.png|128px|left|link=Download#Mac_OS_X]] Before download: Use your '''old version of Gramps''' to [[How_to_make_a_backup#Gramps_version_3.3_and_later|backup]] your Family Trees [[#1|[1]]]. Read the [[Mac OS X:Application package|before installation]] instructions. Supports Apple macOS/Mac OS X in all versions 10.5 (Leopard) and later.

Normally, when you try to load your old Family Tree you can allow it to be upgraded if necessary, and it will be opened. 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 [https://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<big/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<u/tt>[[Download#Linux and BSD distributions|via Distributions]]</utt> foo.dic<u/tt>[[Download#Linux:_Install_latest_version|Latest version . Some languages have more than one pair with a README file to explain why. Select a pair and copy it to /Library/Dictionaries (advanced users onlyyou'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</utt> and <tt>fr_FR.dic</bigtt>{{-. 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.}}

{{man note|These packages are built and supported by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution distros].|If your distribution is not listed you may possibly find it listed on [https://repology.org/metapackage/gramps/versions ''Repology'']<br>Please report any problems with them to the package maintainer.}}Most linux Linux distributions come bundled with a version of Gramps, though it's not always the most recent version and it may not have been installed by default. Still it is recommended to use the Gramps version that comes with your distribution.
Below are ways to install Gramps on some of the more popular distributions:

== 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=Warningbefore attempting this use your existing installation to [[How to make a backup|make a Gramps XML backup]]|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.}}

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 ({{man menu|change the filename to match the one you downloaded}}). sudo dpkg -i gramps_{{version}}-1_all.deb If you have an error about having unmet dependencies run: sudo apt-get -f install to install the dependencies.
* Find out what version you are running, by using this: dpkg-query -s gramps that queries the package and gives you info about it. * If you are committed to an upgrade then make sure you have backed up you Family Trees to Gramps XML then run : sudo dpkg -r gramps this will remove the current gramps package (assuming its a python3 version older versions could be python-gramps ) * To stop Ubuntu updating gramps (to possibly an older version from Ubuntu!) you may need to run: sudo apt-mark hold gramps '''Upgrade is then complete.''' === For other distributions ===For other distributions, [[ImageFile:Download_link.png|150px|link={{github_url}}/releases/v{{version}}]] the source and follow the instructions for [[Linux:Build from source]] == BSD == [[File:Bsd daemon.png|128px|left|link=Download#BSD]] 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> See also:* [[BSD platforms]]{{-}} == Live CD == {{man warn|Note that both Live CD demonstrations use an old version of Gramps and it is not recommended for general use}} [[File:Download_link.png|150px|left|link=httphttps://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/Stablegramps-cdrom/lgenealogy-6.1-desktop-i386.iso/download]]'''Linux live CD Demonstration''' includes Gramps {{versionVersion Linux Live CD}}pre-installed to trial, without touching anything on the hard drive.

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. See : [[How to make a backup]]
