Centralize installation folder information in All_In_One_Gramps_Software_Bundle_for_Windows > Installation folder section instead adding details here.
=== MS Windows ===
* From the Start menu, start cmd.exe.
* Change directory to the starting installation directory you noted downlocated.* Right click and select PasteType in or paste the path, surrounding it in quotes if there are spaces.
* Press {{man key press|Enter}}.
For example, this might be:
cd "C:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64GrampsAOI64-{{template:Version windows AIO64}}"
gramps
gramps -L
=== MacOS ===
gramps -O 'Family Tree 1' -e output.gramps -f gramps-xml
10. To generate a web site into an other locale (in germanGerman):
LANGUAGE=de_DE; LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 gramps -O 'Family Tree 1' -a report -p name=navwebpage,target=/../de
* '''csv''' - Comma Separated Value: This format is available for import and export. Be careful however, import must be as values created by the export function. Only a part of your data is contained in the output.
* '''vcf''' - VCard format: import and export
* '''vcs''' - VCalandar VCalendar format: export
* '''def''' - old Pro-Gen format: import
* '''wft''' - Web Family Tree: This format is available for export only. When not specified, it can be guessed if the filename ends with .wft
You can open a family tree, or you can ''open'' a file by importing it in an empty family tree.
To let Gramps handle this automatically, just supply the familytree family tree or filename you want to open:
python gramps.py 'My Fam Tree'
:<code>gramps -O 'Family Tree 1' -e output.gramps -f gramps-xml</code>
* To generate a web site into an other locale (in germanGerman):
:<code>LANGUAGE=de_DE; LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 gramps -O 'Family Tree 1' -a report -p name=navwebpage,target=/../de </code>
===GRAMPSHOME===
* '''GRAMPSHOME''' - if set, [[Gramps_and_Windows#Setting_the_configuration_path|override default path]] to profile allowing user to use an external network drive to store data and all settings. For technically advanced users who run multiple versions of Gramps, setting a different $GRAMPSHOME is a way to avoid interference between the different versions in the Gramps user directory[[Gramps_Glossary#user_directory|User Directory]]. It can also be used to configure Gramps to [[Run_Gramps_from_a_portable_drive|run from a portable drive]] or to prepare for a [[Installation|manual installation]]. The path can also be used to configure the path to a [[Gramps_for_Windows_with_MSYS2#Keep_your_GRAMPSHOME_separate|separate test Tree]] or [[Getting_started_with_Gramps_development|development Tree]].
For example <pre>GRAMPSHOME=$HOME/familytrees/paternal</pre>
===GRAMPS_RESOURCES===
* The environment variable GRAMPS_RESOURCES is the path to Gramps builtin built-in resources files. You should only change this if you are using Gramps from source code or a custom environment. An indicator that you need to set this variable is if you receive one of the following errors:
** ''Encoding error while parsing resource path''
** ''Failed to open resource file''
