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-2.19.tar.bz2
If it fails on your distribution, please report it as a bug and we will try to fix the compatibility problems. Since Gwyddion is primarily developed on Fedora the RPM package is probably most tested on Fedora, but it is adapted to other distributions too.
RPM packages made for recent versions of openSuSE by Василий Астанин can be found at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home://MadCAD and/or http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home://SlonoInquisitor/ Add the directory appropriate for your distribution, for instance
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home://MadCAD/openSUSE_11.0/
to Yast package sources. See the repository documentation for details and instructions for other package managers.
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.
Packages for Debian are available from the official Debian repositories. You can install Gwyddion simply by issuing
apt-get install gwyddion
(or using your favourite package managment front end, of course).
As the versions in Debian stable outdate quickly, the Debian maintainer tries to provide backports of the most recent version. See http://www.beathovn.de/ for more information.
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.
Since it typically takes a few months for a new version to appear in the official repository, you might also wish to use the custom Gwyddion repository maintained by Nicola Ferralis, see https://launchpad.net/~gwyddion-spm for more.
A port of Gwyddion is available from the ports collection. You can install
science/gwyddion
by standard means. See status of Gwyddion in FreeBSD.
Note: This port is maintained by Yeti who currently does not have time to update it regularly. If you use Gwyddion on FreeBSD, please consider taking over the port maintainership.
Both major collections of Unix software for OS X, MacPorts (formerly DarwinPorts) and Fink, offer a Gwyddion package.
The MacPorts port, maintained by Rolf Würdemann, can be installed as
science/gwyddion by standard means.
If you use Fink, you can install the
gwyddion package
using dselect or apt-get.
See also OS X Installation section of the user guide.
You will probably need to install Gtk+ runtime environment prior to Gwyddion installation. We recommend GladeWin32 Gtk+ runtime environment.
| Win32 installer: | Gwyddion-2.19.exe | ||
| Win32 developement installer: | Gwyddion-Development-2.19.exe |
Note you don't need to install Gwyddion-Development to just use Gwyddion.
We occasionally publish patches fixing annoying problems or omissions in the last stable version that can be easily corrected.
Patches for version 2.19:
None
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 | 2010-03-09 | 3.07 MB |
| Source tarball (gzip): | gwyddion-head.tar.gz | 2010-03-09 | 4.09 MB |
| Win32 Installer: | Gwyddion-head.exe | 2010-03-09 | 2.13 MB |
Gwyddion Subversion repository is public and it can be also accessed directly.
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 | 2009-03-16 | 703 kB |
| ZnTe epitaxial film surface: | znte.gwy | 2009-03-16 | 1.91 MB |
| Interferometric grid surface: | bipm.gwy | 2009-03-16 | 1.91 MB |
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-2.0.tar.bz2 | 2009-03-16 | 13.9 kB |
| Source code tarball (gzip): | threshold-example-2.0.tar.gz | 2009-03-16 | 14.9 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.
