Installing Gramps using MacPorts

Current version available from MacPorts is: 5.1.6

  1. Download and install the latest Xcode tools from http://developer.apple.com/technology/Xcode.html
  2. Download and install Macports from http://www.macports.org/install.php
  3. Open Terminal.app from /Applications/Utilities and enter these commands:
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install gramps

If you are running a recent version of OS X (Snow Leopard, or later, at this point), much of the support software is pre-compiled and will install as quickly as it is downloaded.

If you have been using Version 3 of Gramps and are not ready to upgrade, the most recent version available is 3.49. You can install it with:

sudo port install gramps3
