'''Notice:''' this page describes the [http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/ GTK-OSX] port of GRAMPS to Mac, which has not been thoroughly tested. Everything should work just as it does on Linux, but you are encouraged to make backups to protect your data. Time Machine will do very nicely.
 
'''Notice:''' This page is in transition at the moment; a new set of binaries for 3.2.4 will be available shortly. The build instructions will be changed first, as they will enable you to build your own 3.2.4 bundle from sources. Most of issues below apply only to the 3.1.2 build and have been corrected for 3.2.4.
 
'''Note:''' The 3.1.2 installer left out two files:
#''_strptime.py''. You can get the file from [http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=3177 here].
#''keysyms.py''. You can get the file from [http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=3157 here].
The GTK-OSX port of GRAMPS for Mac is a single, stand-alone bundle which uses the native quartz windowing system instead of X11.
== How to Download and run the binary GRAMPS application for Mac ==
'''File structure:''' GRAMPS database and settings files can be found at the following places in the Mac file system (GRAMPS Version 3.2.5and later):<br>
* The GRAMPS database with the user's genealogical information is stored under /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/gramps/grampsdb.<br>
* Setting files (ini-files) are found here: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/gramps/gramps32<br>
==Bugs==
All of the known bugs in 3.1.2 have been corrected in 3.2.4and later. There will no doubt be new ones; report them in the usual way on [http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/my_view_page.php Mantis] ([http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Using_the_bug_tracker instructions]). When reporting what you're sure is an OSX specific bug, please set the Platform field to "mac" (no quotes, caps, or spaces!) so that I can find it easily.
The 3.1.2 bugs are described at [[Mac gtk-osx port bugs]].
Good Luck!
