*;What is needed to install GRAMPS under Linux, Solaris, or FreeBSD?:GRAMPS is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gtk GTK] application. GRAMPS needs to have the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygtk pygtk] libraries installed on the system. As long as these libraries are installed, GRAMPS should function. It will operate under the GNOME desktop, KDE desktop, or any other desktop. If the GNOME bindings for Python are installed on the system, GRAMPS will have additional functionality. The GRAMPS project recommends version 2.8 or higher of GTK. *;Does it work with Windows? :The [[Linux Genealogy CD]] can function as a live CD that you boot directly from. You can then run Linux and GRAMPS off the CD, even if your computer is entirely Windows. :A [[Windows installer]] is available, however we do not have the manpower to offer support for Windows. A [[Contact|windows mailing list]] is available however and we will do our best to solve windows related problems.:See also [[GRAMPS_and_Windows]] for a summary of hints to use GRAMPS on a Windows PC.*;Does it work with the Mac?:The Fink project has ported some older versions of GRAMPS to OS X (tm). The Mac OS X port is not directly supported by the GRAMPS project, primarily because none of the GRAMPS developers have access to Mac OS X and because OS X is not Free Software. :This present version of GRAMPS (2.2.x) does not appear to have been ported by the Fink project. Please contact the Fink project for more information. However, some users have [[Mac OS X|had success]] in installing 2.2.x on Mac OSX either running in native mode or running on X11 using some of the fink packages. *;What are the Minimum Specs to run GRAMPS?:We would recommend at least an 800x600 video display. For GRAMPS 2.0, the memory requirements have been reduced, and GRAMPS can run quite efficiently on a 256MB system, holding considerably more people. A system with 512MB should be able to hold around 200,000 people. Disk space requirements for databases are however considerably larger, with a typical database being several megabytes in size. For 120.000 people you must consider already 530Mb for the database. Pictures are stored on disk separately, so a large harddisk is necessary.
