→Keep your GRAMPSHOME separate
{{man warn|1=Warning|2=Do not open your existing databases with the master branch, it might destroy your data, and will make it impossible to use the data in the stable version {{stable_branch}}. To try it out, export your database to a gramps xml file, eg <code>test_master.gramps</code>, create a new family tree in the master branch, and import this xml file.<br>Alternatively you can [[Gramps_for_Windows_with_MSYS2#Keep_your_GRAMPSHOME_separate|Keep your GRAMPSHOME separate]] }}
How to use MSYS2 to run latest Gramps development version from source in 64bit Windows.
In similar way you can build the 32bit version([https://www.msys2.org/news/#2020-05-17-32-bit-msys2-no-longer-actively-supported 2020-05-17 - 32-bit MSYS2 no longer actively supported])
==Install MSYS2==
{{man note|Installation restrictions|MSYS2 can't be installed on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table FAT* formatted disk partitions].<br>Current MSYS2 can't be installed on Windows XP anymore.}}
From the MSYS2 home page httphttps://www.msys2.org / download the latest MSYS2 64bit installer( msys2-x86_64-YYYYMMDD.exe ) from [httphttps://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/https://repo.msys2-.org/distrib/x86_64-20161025.exe MSYS2 64bit/] installer and run it.
Install it in short path like <code>C:\msys64</code>
To handle the following warning '''No intltool or version < 0.25.0, build_intl is aborting''' install:
pacman -S perl-XML-Parser
pacman -S intltool
Some additional (optional) items needed for certain addons.
<pre>
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686x86_64-gtkspell3pacman -S mingw-w64-i686x86_64-geocode-glibpacman -S mingw-w64-i686x86_64-python3-pillow</pre> The Genealogical Symbols preferences tab needs Python Fontconfig version 0.5 so we need to build it.From a suitble build directory (I use ~/build)<pre>git clone git://github.com/Vayn/python-fontconfig.gitcd python-fontconfig/git checkout e1b1751f52167184e0cpython3 setup.py install

===Install Git===
GrampsAIO uses Oracle Berkeley DB version 6.0.30 but MSYS2 have it at version 6.0.19 and most probably never update it to a newer version.
<br>Gramps will ask permission to downgrade database version at import of any family tree created with GrampsAIO bundle. To prevent that build right version of DB.
<br>You can do it in easy way by downloading prebuilt package or hard way by building it yourself.<br>Start ''msys2 shellHard way'' and type (easy wayit can take some time to finish):
<pre>
cd ~/build
pacman -U mingw-w64-x86_64-db-6.0.30-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
</pre>

cd ~/build
pacman -U mingw-w64-x86_64-db-6.0.30-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

===graphviz===
As of 2019.09.17 package mingw-w64-osm-gps-map is available so all you have to do is: <pre>pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-graphviz</pre> Previously Graphviz is was in MSYS2 MINGW-packages git repository but is was not build-able at this moment that time (2017-03-26) so it is not available via pacman.
We build latest version from Graphviz git repository by manually patching code in process so we can't yet provide PKGBUILD
* Easy way
cd ~/build/pygraphviz-1.4rc1
MINGW_INSTALLS=mingw64 makepkg-mingw -sLf
pacman -U mingw-w64-i686x86_64-python3-pygraphviz-1.4rc1-0.0-any.pkg.tar.xz
</pre>
For NetworkChart report to work install also networkx package
===osmgpsmap===
As of 20172019.0302.21 08 package mingw-w64-osmgpsmaposm-git (r443.c24d08dgps-1) map is outdated due to changes in MINGW-packages repository available so Gramps GeoView will fail all you have to work.<br>We will rebuild him!<br>Start '''msys2 shell''' (always build package recipes from msys2 shell)<br>Easy way:do is

{{man warn|Warning it is not advised for users to mix various libraries like the following it is a direct way to dll hell.|This way Gramps will use graphviz libs instead of MSYS2 ones and they are older and in much way incompatible with rest of Gramps dependencies.<br> until Graphviz becomes available from MSYS2 directly this is an alternate method.}}
<i>Download the current GraphViz ZIP archive from httphttps://www.graphviz.org/Download_windows.php download/ and extract it to C:\graphviz, so that it directly contains the directories bin, lib, share and so on.</i>
From the msys2 prompt type:
Graphviz : 2.38

==Install Python pip==
rm get-pip.py
==Keep your [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Command_Line#GRAMPSHOME |GRAMPSHOME]] separate==
To keep your test family trees separate from your personal family trees you may want to use your MSYS2 home directory which you can set from mingw64 shell either:
echo 'export GRAMPSHOME=~' >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile
