# Installation status #

  OS X: Mac OS X will see an official installer shortly after release with all components

  Linux: We expect Linux packages for different distributions. Gramps 4.0 will only work on distributions released since October 2012, use virtualbox for older distributions. Some optional dependencies are not available yet on most distribution at the time of release. If you want those, you need to install them from source, see Ubuntu derivatives walkthrough in the installation guide[1] for these. Specifically for Ubuntu derivatives spell checking, geography view and exiv image data require installation of source components.

  Windows: Much work has been done the last months to obtain the stack needed for Gramps on Windows. At the moment only a rough guide on source installation is present[2]. We hope this will allow windows developers to construct an AIO installer as for the 3.4 version


You can get Gramps 4.0.1 from the download page[3].


Thank you to all contributors and developers!
