Research, organize and share your family tree with Gramps.

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.

Gramps Current version: 6.0.8 Released: 2026-04-09

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

For Linux, we recommend installing and upgrading Gramps using either FlatPak or Snap:

A Flatpak is available from Flathub. (Flatpak doesn’t include the BSDDB database backend.)
A Snap is available from the Snap Store.

Gramps may also be available in the package manager provided by your distribution. However, this is likely to be out-of-date in some popular distributions.

For advanced users, a source package is available:

Source Package 6.0.8

Instructions for how to build from source are available in our wiki.

Microsoft Windows

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

Windows Installer (64-bit) 6.0.8

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.

Final Gramps versions for legacy Windows systems (PortableApps format): Windows 7 64-bit: 5.1.6, Windows 7/8/10 32-bit: 5.1.5, Windows XP/Vista: 3.4.9

Apple macOS

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.

The Gramps app on Apple’s App Store is in no way affiliated with the Gramps project.

See:
* 2025 Forum discussion iOS app named “Gramps”

BSD platforms

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

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. You can then install [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ Ubuntu 10.10] and Gramps from the CD anytime you like.

-Most linux distributions come bundled with a version of Gramps, though it's not always the most recent version and it may not have been installed by default. Still it is recommended to use the Gramps version that comes with your distribution.
