====Debian====
'''Debian''': the latest version should be in the ''unstable'' repository ([http://packages.debian.org/sid/gramps Sid Gramps]) and can be upgraded from your package manager. The ''testing'' repository is updated 10 days later (except near a new stable release), see [http://packages.debian.org/testing/gramps Testing Gramps]. Released versions of Debian (''etch'' and ''lenny'') contain older versions of GRAMPSGramps, see the list of [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gramps versions of GRAMPS Gramps in Debian].
====SuSE====
'''SuSE''': Richard Bos has been providing the GRAMPS Gramps releases for OpenSUSE. The repository for OpenSUSE 11.1 is available from [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/openSUSE_11.1/] or [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/cornelisbb/]. Note that at the time of writing this repository is not the same as that in the repository list as "Education" and must be added as a URL. The repository for 11.0 is [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/openSUSE_11.0/] and 10.3 is [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/openSUSE_10.3/]. For earlier versions of OpenSUSE (10.2) see the forum entry about [http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?s=22f80a050a1e3cffffd590db0813dea9&showtopic=28727&pid=152093&st=0&#entry152093 satisfying GRAMPS Gramps dependencies for SuSE with the ''rbos'' and SMART]. Also, there is [[OpenSUSE_RPM|an other alternative using openSUSE BuildService]].
====Mandriva====
'''Mandriva''': Newer versions of GRAMPS Gramps are sometimes backported. To install backports you must enable the ''backports'' repository (make sure you understand the instructions on the [http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Basic_tasks/Installing_and_removing_software#Advanced_use:_Backports_and_candidate_updates Mandriva wiki]). If the latest version is not in the ''backports'' repository you cab try the ''contrib'' repository.
====Fedora====
'''Fedora''': For Fedora look on the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/ GRAMPS Gramps download page] for a package containing ''fc'' with your number and ending with ''.rpm''. The alternative to installing from source is to [[fedora rpm|build a package]] from an rpm spec file, or install a binary from fedora testing.
====Slackware====
'''Slackware 13.0''': Gramps 3.2.5 is available via [http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=13368 LinuxPackages].
====Different GNU/Linux distributions====
Different GNU/Linux distributions have other preferred ways to download and install packages for GRAMPSGramps. Please read the installation instructions specific to your distribution before downloading.
In all other cases, you must [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/ download] the stable source package (the file ending with '.tar.gz') and install GRAMPS manually. See the section about installing from source for details.
===Gnome and KDE===
You can use both, but GRAMPS Gramps fits in better with GNOME.
For KDE there are some minor issues due to some (GTK) issues outside of GRAMPSGramps. Check the [[KDE page]] to know what these problems might be.
For GNOME, there are some issues due to some (ATK/GAIL) issues outside of GRAMPSGramps. Check the [[Known_issues|Known issues]] to know what these problems might be.
Also, you might look at [http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/ XdgUtils].
===GRAMPS Gramps on handhelds===GRAMPS Gramps can run fine on some small-factor devices. Users have been successful in using GRAMPS Gramps on:
* [[Gramps on the Eee|Asus Eee PC]]
* [http://gramps-project.org/2011/01/gramps-mobile-interface-part-i/ Gramps Mobile Interface – part I] & [http://gramps-project.org/2011/01/gramps-mobile-interface-%E2%80%93-part-ii/ part II]
===Live Genealogy CD===
If you are interested in GRAMPSGramps, 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 [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ Ubuntu 10.10] and GRAMPS Gramps from the CD anytime you like.
==Windows, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Solaris==
===Windows===
Be aware there is a least 3 different ways you can install/use GRAMPS Gramps under windows. The method you choose will be dependent on ''your'' requirements and how much extra work you wish to put into setting up your environment.
In order of difficulty:
* GRAMPS Gramps All-in-one installer (AIO) - While still under development the AIO installer has the lowest barrier of entry, see [[All In One Gramps Software Bundle for Windows]] for more information.* GRAMPS Gramps Portable - Allows you to Run GRAMPS Gramps from a portable drive and can be installed to the local hard drive see the [http://portableapps.com/apps/education/gramps_portable PortableApps.com Gramps Portable] page for more information.* GRAMPS Gramps installer (minimal) - Stable installer, however it requires you to install all of GRAMPS Gramps dependencies prior to installing GRAMPSGramps. see [[Windows_installer#Installation | Installing Windows dependencies first.]]
More information of each of these installation methods can be seen on the [[download]] page.
*Additional information for Windows users is on page [[GRAMPS Gramps and Windows]].
====Building from source====
Fortunately for users of Microsoft Windows, some users have made a [[Windows installer]]. So far there have not been any reports of serious differences between the official builds of GRAMPS Gramps and the Windows Installer, so the future looks promising, but please, use this at your own risk.
===Mac OS X===
A port of Gramps ready-to Mac -run application for Max OS X has been available since September 20102009 for both Intel and PPC Apple computers. It is wise to back -up data carefully before running it. It's available as a ready-built binary using the application (application packageespecially if you are upgrading from a previous version of Gramps) for both Intel and PPC Macs.
===Free/OpenBSD and Solaris===
* For OpenBSD use the [http://openports.se/misc/gramps gramps port]
* Installing on BSD is as straightforward as on Linux, apart from some minor issues like tools having different names. See the [[BSD Platforms|BSD page]] for details.
* GRAMPS Gramps has been successfully installed from source on both Solaris 10 (SPARC) and OpenSolaris X86 (2008.05). Please see the [[Solaris Platforms|Solaris page]] for step-by-step details.
==Installing GRAMPS Gramps from source code==
===General requirements===
==== Linux package requirements ====
'''1. Download a stable version'''
* The latest stable version of GRAMPS Gramps can be downloaded from the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/ GRAMPS Gramps SourceForge file area]. Eg: gramps-{{version}}.tar.gz. Extract this file into a directory:
<code>
tar xzvf gramps-zzz.tar.gz
cd gramps-zzz
</code>
* If you are interested in testing out the very latest development versions of GRAMPSGramps, they can be obtained from SVN, see [[Brief introduction to SVN#Unstable_development:_.22trunk.22|Brief introduction to SVN]]. The SVN versions of GRAMPS Gramps are potentially very dangerous as they have not been extensively tested - especially the "trunk" version which contains features that may still be partly implemented. Be aware that they may be prone to crashing and cause extensive data loss. Please use with extreme caution - and only ever on a copy of your data!
'''2. Download from SVN'''
You can get a branch version (similar as above) or the latest bleeding-edge version through SVN, such as:
svn co https://grampssvn.svncode.sourceforgesf.net/svnrootp/gramps/code/tags/gramps-3.34.1 2/ gramps for the most recent development version, see [[Running a development version of Gramps]]. '''3. Tarball from SVN'''
Should you just want to do a straightforward replacement instead, make sure that you remove the older version before you install the new version. '''Do not install over the top of the old version.''' As new versions of Gramps are developed, some functionality is occasionally rewritten in different ways. If you install over the top of an existing installation you run the risk that the old code left behind from the old version may be used instead of the new, sometimes with unintended consequences. If you installed from source, the best way of removing the old version is to run<code>
as root '''from where you installed the old version'''. Use your distribution's package manager to uninstall if your old version was installed as a package.
'''Note that you should use your old GRAMPS Gramps version to export backup copies to GRAMPS XML before removing the old version.'''
===Linux===
./autogen.sh </code> # as regular user
Local installation without root privileges is possible, instructions are available on the INSTALL file, most importantly one needs to supply a <code>--prefix=</code> and a <code>--with-mime-dir=</code> argument to <code>autogen.sh</code>.

===Mac OS X:Build from source===
The latest version of MacPorts Gramps is '''{{version_MacPort}}'''.
The latest official stable unstable fink version is '''13.0.104''' for Mac OS X 10.45 on both PPC and Intel. The latest There is currently no official unstable stable fink version is '''3.0.4''' for Mac OS X 10.5of Gramps.(As at February 2012)
Instructions for building the pre-build built binary version (Mac OX X Application package) are given at [[Mac OS X:Build from source:Application package]]. Some discussion about earlier attempts is at [[Mac OS X:Build from source:gtk-osx]] with bugs reported at [[Mac OS X:Build from source:gtk-osx:bugs]]
An older build approach is given at [[Mac OS X:Build from source:Native OS X]].
