{{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 [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.}}

An alternative way to download and install Gramps on MacOS can be done using the MacPorts[[#5|[5]]] framework.
'''Linux live CD Demonstration''' includes Gramps {{Version Linux Live CD}} pre-installed to trial, without touching anything on the hard drive. To start this boot the Computer with this Live Linux Desktop on a CD in the CD/DVD-ROM Drive. (Requires that you write this image to a CD-ROM using CD-Burner software eg:Nero, Imgburn..). [[Linux_Genealogy_CD#Obtaining_the_CD|Obtaining the CD]] (727 MB) [[Linux Genealogy CD|Linux Genealogy CD based on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)]].  If you are interested in Gramps, but are afraid to actually install it or unable to install it (not your PC, windows, no internet at home, work laptop, ...), then try out our [[Linux Genealogy CD]]. It runs without installing on the hard disk and contains a collection of open source, free, genealogy programs. You can then install latest [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ Ubuntu 14.04.3] and Gramps from the CD anytime you like.

Research, organize and share your family tree with Gramps.

Gramps is a free software project and community. We strive to produce a genealogy program that is both intuitive for hobbyists and feature-complete for professional genealogists. It is a community project, created, developed and governed by genealogists.

Gramps-notes.png
Gramps Current version: 5.2.1 Released: 2020-01-10

Different data format to the GRAMPS 3.4 series. Full Python 3 support only as Python 2 support dropped. Uses GTK+ 3 GUI. Default database is now SQlite. Lot of updates see: What's new?
Linux 220x261.png Windows 180x160.png Macos 200x200.png Bsd daemon.png

Linux

Linux 220x261.png

Before upgrading your distribution: Use your old version of Gramps to backup your Family Trees [1].

via Distributions      Latest version (5.2.1) (advanced users only)

MS Windows

Windows 180x160.png

Before downloading the All-In-One software installer bundle for Windows: Use your earlier version of Gramps to backup your Family Trees to the hardy and portable XML format1.

This installer supports Microsoft Windows in all versions Vista/7 and later.

(Please note: Gramps prefers the Python-3.5 and Gtk-3.18 libraries and newer. Those libraries have dropped support for Windows XP. But Gramps can still be run on Windows XP with earlier library versions, i.e., Python3.4.4 and Gtk-3.16)

After download: double-click to install Gramps.
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 mix of British and US English.

Tango-Dialog-information.png
Shortcuts

During installation, one shortcut is placed on the desktop and two shortcuts are added the Start menu.
Please only use the 'console' secondary shortcut when performing diagnostics requested by a developer.
1) GrampsAIOXX 5.2.1 ← for normal use of Gramps
2)
GrampsAIOXX 5.2.1-console


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 back-up into this new Tree.

Use the Windows AIO (All-In-One) version, please use the download links above. For more information about individual versions, console and debug modes, release notes, etc., look at this page (English only).

If necessary, there is an alternative independent Legacy MS Windows portable version2.

You may also install using the alternative independent Gramps Chocolatey NuGet Package3.


Missing other languages

Microsoft Window Gramps AIO Installer Choose Components-Selection window.

The default Gramps AIO installer will embed the US dialect of English for the interface with the British spellcheck dictionary.

If you prefer a different language (or spell with the US or Australian dialects of English), please ensure that you pay special attention to the Choose Components phase of the installation.

To install a language other than English, select from both the Translations and Dictionaries during the Choose Components phase of the installation.

Even your primary language is installed by default, you might anticipate the need to spellcheck Notes in other than the British dialect of English. Be certain to select the appropriate languages from Dictionaries. Gramps will not access your Operating System's native dictionary.

There is no simple facility for adding interface or dictionary languages after installation.

macOS

Macos 200x200.png

Before download: Use your old version of Gramps to backup your Family Trees [1]. Read the before installation instructions.

Supports Apple macOS/Mac OS X in all versions 10.5 (Leopard) and later.

Intel 5.2.0     

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 [4].

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.

Tango-Dialog-information.png
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 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 oxt to zip, 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, foo.aff and foo.dic. 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 fr-moderne.aff and fr-moderne.dic. The spell checker doesn't recognize those names, so when you copy them to /Library/Dictionaries you must rename them to fr.aff and fr.dic or fr_FR.aff and fr_FR.dic. 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.


An alternative way to download and install Gramps on MacOS can be done using the MacPorts[5] framework.

Linux and BSD distributions

Gramps-notes.png
These packages are built and supported by the distros.

If your distribution is not listed you may possibly find it listed on Repology
Please report any problems with them to the package maintainer.

Most 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.

Gnome-important.png
Warning before attempting this use your existing installation to make a Gramps XML backup

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.

Debian-based

For Debianopenlogo-32.pngDebian-based linux distributions (Which includes Ubuntu 32x32.png Ubuntu ) 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 gramps_5.2.1-1_all.deb

If you have an error about having unmet dependencies run:

sudo apt-get -f install

to install the dependencies.

Useful command lines

Before upgrading you can[1]:

  • 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
