Stable version

Version 2.10, released 1 July 2008. See User guide for installation details.

Source code

Source tarball (bzip2):	gwyddion-2.10.tar.bz2
PGP/GnuPG signature:	gwyddion-2.10.tar.bz2.sig
Source tarball (gzip):	gwyddion-2.10.tar.gz
PGP/GnuPG signature:	gwyddion-2.10.tar.gz.sig

Linux RPMs

There are too many RPM-based GNU/Linux distributions (and too many architectures) Gwyddion can run on. Binary rpms were more confusing than helpful and therefore they are no longer published. Check whether your distribution provides a package (and prod it lightly if it does not), known distribution-provided RPMs are listed below.

You can build a rpm directly from the source code tarball:

rpmbuild -tb gwyddion-2.10.tar.bz2

If it fails on your distribution, please report it as a bug and we will try to fix the compatibility problems.

SuSE Linux RPMs

RPM packages made for recent versions of openSuSE by Yasha Gindikin can be found at http://repos.opensuse.org/home:/SlonoInquisitor/. Add the directory appropriate for your distribution, for instance

http://repos.opensuse.org/home:/SlonoInquisitor/openSUSE_10.2/

to Yast package sources. See the repository documentation for details and instructions for other package managers.

Gentoo Linux package

Gwyddion is now available to Gentoo users through the Portage tree. Just do

emerge gwyddion

It may be masked though (at the time of writing this it's masked as a new package) so you may need to add

sci-visualization/gwyddion

to /etc/portage/package.keywords. See Gentoo sci-visualization/gwyddion package page for current package status.

Debian GNU/Linux package

Packages for Debian by Jan Beyer are available in unstable (at the time of writing this). If you use Debian unstable, you can install Gwyddion simply by issuing

apt-get install gwyddion

(or using your favourite package managment front end, of course).

Ubuntu package

Ubuntu packages should be available from the universe repository since Ubuntu 8.04, installable as usual by issuing

sudo apt-get install gwyddion

(or using your favourite package managment front end, of course), see also package information.

FreeBSD

A port of Gwyddion is available from the ports collection. You can install

science/gwyddion

by standard means. See status of Gwyddion in FreeBSD.

Mac OS X

A port of Gwyddion created by Rolf Würdemann is available from MacPorts (formerly DarwinPorts). You can install port

science/gwyddion

by standard means. See also OS X Installation section of the user guide.

A testing Fink info file created by Joshua Baraban is available here:

MS Windows

You will probably need to install Gtk+ runtime environment prior to Gwyddion installation. We recommend GladeWin32 Gtk+ runtime environment.

Win32 installer:	Gwyddion-2.10.exe
Win32 developement installer:	Gwyddion-Development-2.10.exe

Note you don't need to install Gwyddion-Development to just use Gwyddion.

Patches

We occasionally publish patches fixing annoying problems or omissions in the last stable version that can be easily corrected.

Patches for version 2.10:

None

Nightly snapshots

The latest development snapshot that succeeded to build. Note a successful build doesn't mean it runs or works properly. It may be incompatible with previous and/or future versions in intricate ways. Do not install it unless you know what you are doing. For serious use, we recommend to use the stable versions.

Stable branch (2.x):

Source tarball (bzip2):	gwyddion-head.tar.bz2	2008-07-05	2.29 MB
Source tarball (gzip):	gwyddion-head.tar.gz	2008-07-05	3.06 MB
Win32 Installer:	Gwyddion-head.exe	2008-07-05	1.79 MB

Gwyddion Subversion repository is public and it can be also accessed directly.

Sample data files

To see Gwyddion at work even if none of the formats you use is currently supported (file format list), you can download some sample data files in Gwyddion native format.

Available example data files:

Microchip surface:	chip.gwy	2006-05-29	703 kB
ZnTe epitaxial film surface:	znte.gwy	2006-05-29	1.91 MB
Interferometric grid surface:	bipm.gwy	2006-05-29	1.91 MB

Sample standalone module

Threshold-example is a sample nontrivial (with a GUI) standalone module that can serve as a base for your modules. It compiles both on GNU/Linux and MS Windows (please see the included README file for detailed instructions). It also contains everything necessary to build a binary RPM package or a Win32 installer (with Inno Setup) of the module.

Source code tarball (bzip2):	threshold-example-1.10.tar.bz2	2005-03-25	13.8 kB
Source code tarball (gzip):	threshold-example-1.10.tar.gz	2005-03-25	14.7 kB

Only source code is provided, as the module is not particularly useful as a data processing tool, its point is to demonstrate how to build standalone Gwyddion extension module.
