===General Requirements===

'''Note that you should use your old GRAMPS version to export backup copies to GRAMPS XML before removing the old version.'''

GRAMPS provides a script that can be used to prepare the code for building. This script automatically calls the standard configure script:<code>

make install (as root) </code>

Installing on BSD is as straightforward as on Linux, apart from some minor issues like tools having different names. See the [[BSD page]] for details.

Version 3.0.1 has been successfully installed via fink, see: [[Mac OS X fink local]]

Some users have successfully installed GRAMPS on Mac OS X. See the [[Mac OS X]] page for details. Please, add to the wiki if you successfully installed GRAMPS on OS X.

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 and the Windows Installer, so the future looks promising, but please, use this at your own risk.

If the dependencies are in place, the development version can be tested by getting the source (see above), making a copy of the file const.py.in and rename it to const.py, then execute "python gramps.py" from within the src directory. Of course, this is a development version, so warnings apply even more to this case than when using the installer.

Version 3.0.1 has been successfully installed from source on both Solaris 10 (SPARC) and OpenSolaris X86 (2008.05). Please see the [[Solaris page]] for step-by-step details.
