Gramps is a free software project and community. We strive to produce a genealogy program that is both intuitive for hobbyists and feature-complete for professional genealogists. It is a community project, created, developed and governed by genealogists.

For Linux, we recommend installing and upgrading Gramps using the '''[https://wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_software_package_management_systems package manager]''' provided by your [[Installing_Gramps_for_Linux_computers#Linux_distributions|distribution]] or by installing a [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatpak FlatPak] available from [[Installing_Gramps_for_Linux_computers#Flathub|Flathub]].
Before upgrading your distribution: Use your '''old version of Gramps''' to [[How_to_make_a_backup#Gramps_version_3.3_and_later|backup]] your Family Trees [[#1|[1]]].

{{man tip|Spell Checking:|Gramps uses a different spell checker than the one provided by Mac OS X, with different spelling dictionary requirements. We can't easily provide dictionaries for all of the supported languages in the bundle, but they're easily downloaded from [https://extensions.openoffice.org/ OpenOffice.org's website]. Download the language you want and save it, then navigate to the download in Finder. Most browsers have a downloads window that offers "Show in Finder" in its context menu. Change the file extension from <tt>oxt</tt> to <tt>zip</tt>, then from the context menu select '''Open with... Archive Utility''' to decompress it. In the decompressed folder or perhaps in a subfolder you'll find the dictionary files in pairs, <tt>foo.aff</tt> and <tt>foo.dic</tt>. Some languages have more than one pair with a README file to explain why. Select a pair and copy it to /Library/Dictionaries (you'll have to authenticate with an administrator id and password), and if 'foo' isn't already a language or locale code, make it one. For example, the French package includes several pairs with names like <tt>fr-moderne.aff</tt> and <tt>fr-moderne.dic</tt>. The spell checker doesn't recognize those names, so when you copy them to /Library/Dictionaries you must rename them to <tt>fr.aff</tt> and <tt>fr.dic</tt> or <tt>fr_FR.aff</tt> and <tt>fr_FR.dic</tt>. You can have more than one dictionary pair installed if you use several languages, but one '''must''' match the language you use for Gramps or spell checking won't be enabled at all.}}
 
 
 
 
 
An alternative way to download and install Gramps on MacOS can be done using the MacPorts[[#5|[5]]] framework.

[[File:Bsd daemon.png|128px|left|link=BSD platforms]]
  
== Linux: Install latest version ==
+
For BSD, we recommend installing and upgrading Gramps using the '''[https://wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_software_package_management_systems package manager]''' provided by your [[BSD platforms#BSD_distributions|distribution]].
 
 
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.
 
 
 
{{man warn|1=Warning before attempting this use your existing installation to [[How to make a backup|make a Gramps XML backup]]|2=This should only be attempted by experienced users, and after you have backed up your Family Tree.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
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.}}
 
 
 
=== Debian-based ===
 
For [[File:Debianopenlogo-32.png|link=Download#Debian-based]]'''[[Debian|Debian-based linux distributions]]''' (Which includes [[File:Ubuntu_32x32.png|link=Download#Debian-based]]''' Ubuntu ''') [{{github_url}}/releases/v{{version}} Download the .deb file]. Double-click on the downloaded .deb file or (for some distributions, e.g. Mint Debian) run the following command from the directory where the file was saved (change the filename to match the one you downloaded).
 
 
 
sudo dpkg -i python3-gramps_{{version}}-1_all.deb
 
 
 
If you have an error about having unmet dependencies run:
 
 
 
sudo apt-get -f install
 
 
 
to install the dependencies.
 
 
 
==== Useful command lines ====
 
Before upgrading you can[https://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/mailman/message/35460486/]:
 
 
 
* Find out what version you are running, by using this:
 
 
 
    dpkg-query -s python3-gramps
 
 
 
that queries the package and gives you info about it.
 
 
 
* If you are committed to an upgrade then make sure you have backed up you Family Trees to Gramps XML then run :
 
 
 
    sudo dpkg -r python3-gramps
 
 
 
this will remove the current gramps package (assuming its a python3 version older versions could be python-gramps )
 
 
 
* To stop Ubuntu updating gramps (to possibly an older version from Ubuntu!) you may need to run:
 
 
 
    sudo apt-mark hold gramps
 
 
 
'''Upgrade is then complete.'''
 
 
 
=== For other distributions ===

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?

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.

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
