To start this boot the Computer with this Live Linux Desktop on a CD in the CD/DVD-ROM Drive. (Requires that you write this image to a CD-ROM using CD-Burner software eg:Nero, Imgburn..). If you are interested in Gramps, 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.

If your distribution doesn't ship with Gramps or you wish to install a different version than it ships with, you could try to install the latest version of Gramps manually. Instructions are given below for a number of distributions.
 
  
{{man warn|1=Warning|2=This should only be attempted by experienced users, and after you have backed up your Family Tree.
+
You will find a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Backing_up_a_Family_Tree|{{Man menu|Make Backup...}}]] option in the {{Man menu|Family Trees}} menu of recent Gramps versions. Alternately, use [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Exporting_data|{{Man menu|Export...}}]] in the same menu but deselect the privacy and filtering options in the Exporter Assistant to avoid omission of any data.  
  
The version of Gramps that has been included in your distribution will have been tested to work with the components in that distribution. If you try to install a different version of Gramps there is a possibility that the components needed for the new version of Gramps are not available for your distribution, or they are available, but don't work properly. You might not discover that there is a problem till you have already done some work with the new version of Gramps.
+
See: [[How to make a backup]]
  
If you already have Gramps installed, and you are only making a 'point' upgrade (i.e. from Gramps x.y.z to x.y.z+1, e.g. from 3.4.3 to 3.4.4), then it is likely but not certain that Gramps will continue to work. However, if the change is much greater, especially if it is a major version change (e.g. from 2.y.z to 3.y.z), then the danger that it does not work properly is much greater.}}

Research, organize and share your family tree with Gramps.

Gramps-notes.png
Gramps Current version: 5.2.1 Released: 2024-03-24

For a list of updates see: What's new?

Gnome-important.png
Before upgrading your distribution

Use your earlier version of Gramps to backup your Family Trees to the hardy and portable XML format.


Linux

Linux 220x261.png

For Linux, we recommend installing and upgrading Gramps using the package manager provided by your distribution or by installing a FlatPak available from Flathub.

For advanced users, a source package and Debian package are available:

Instructions for how to build from source or install a Debian package are available in the wiki.



Microsoft Windows

Windows 180x160.png

This executable installer supports Microsoft Windows in versions 8, 10, 11 (64-bit Only) and later.

After download: double-click to install Gramps.

Alternatives to the All-In-One installer include the PortableApps.com and Chocolatey NuGet Package. Advanced users can install Gramps from source using the MSYS2 build environment.

Older versions available for (Windows 7 64-bit: 5.1.6, Windows 7/8/10 32-bit: 5.1.5, Windows XP/Vista: 3.4.9)


Apple macOS

Macos 200x200.png

Before downloading read the before installation instructions.

After download: Double-click the .dmg file to mount the disk (note: your browser may do this for you automatically). Next, drag the Gramps application to your application folder and double-click to launch it.

Alternatives to the application package include the MacPorts and Homebrew package managers.


BSD platforms

Bsd daemon.png

For BSD, we recommend installing and upgrading Gramps using the package manager provided by your distribution.

Advanced users can build from source using the link in the Linux section.

Further information can be found on the BSD platforms page in the wiki.


Tango-Dialog-information.png
Normally, when you try to load your old Family Tree you can allow it to be upgraded if necessary, and it will be opened.

Should this fail for any reason, Create a new Family Tree and Import the backup into this new Family Tree.




Notes

Backup to Gramps XML format when updating. Although Gramps reads and writes GEDCOM 5.5.1 format fluently (because it is the de facto format for genealogical data interchange), never depend on such a rudimentary format for archiving your research. GEDCOM cannot store all the intricacies found in Gramps data. Always backup with the more robust Gramps XML format.

Menubar - "Family Trees > Make Backup..."

You will find a Make Backup... option in the Family Trees menu of recent Gramps versions. Alternately, use Export... in the same menu but deselect the privacy and filtering options in the Exporter Assistant to avoid omission of any data.

See: How to make a backup
