This appendix provides the reference to the Gramps user directory available on various operating systems.
|
Location depends on the operating system. The location of your Gramps user directory depends on the operating system you are using and how you have set up your computer. |
POSIX - style systems
The default user directory location for Gramps in a POSIX-style environment is:
/HOME/<username>/.gramps
which can also be entered as
<~username>/.gramps
This is true for BSD, Linux, Solaris, Unix and Mac OS-X when using Mac OS X Build from source.
Alternately, you can leverage the $HOME Home directory equivalent to avoid dealing the complications of active user names. Although Gramps will not recognize directory equivalents for paths internally, you can use them within Linux to find Gramps user files. The Gramps user directory path above is simplified to either:
$HOME/.gramps
or
~/.gramps
Or if using MS Windows the following syntax is used
$HOME\.gramps
or
~\.gramps
Mac OS X
On Apple Macs running OS X, filenames starting with "." do not show up in Finder. To make access to the Gramps user directory easy, open a terminal window with Finder-Applications-Utilities-Terminal and type there
ln -s .gramps gramps_user_directory
which will allow Finder to show the contents. Or simply click on Go -> 'Go to Folder...' in the Finder, and type
~/.gramps
in the Go to Folder dialog box.
The default location for the Mac OS X:Application package is
/Users/<~username>/Library/Application Support/gramps
MS Windows
On Microsoft Windows, filenames and folder for programs and userdata are hidden in the File Explorer. To make access to the Gramps user directory easy follow the following advice from Microsoft:
The default location for an installation on a Windows 7 (and newer) system is
C:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-5.X.X
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\GrampsAIO32-5.X.X
The default location for any Gramps user data on a Windows 7 (and newer) system is
C:\Users\<~username>\AppData\Roaming\gramps
Alternately, you can leverage the %AppData% environment variable to avoid dealing the complications of active user names. Although Gramps will not recognize Environment Variables for paths internally, you can use them within Windows to find Gramps user files. The Gramps user directory path above is simplified to:
%AppData%\gramps
