title: Grammatical Framework Download and Installation
...
**GF 3.11** was released on ? December 2020.
What's new? See the [release notes](release-3.11.html).
## Binary packages
Unlike previous versions, these binary packages include only the GF core (compiler and runtime).
| Platform | Download | Features | How to install |
|:----------------|:---------------------------------------------------|:---------------|:---------------------------------|
| macOS | [gf-3.11.pkg](gf-3.11.pkg) | GF, S, C, J, P | Double-click on the package icon |
| Ubuntu (32-bit) | [gf\_3.11\_i386.deb](gf_3.11_i386.deb) | GF, S, C, J, P | `sudo dpkg -i gf_3.11_i386.deb` |
| Ubuntu (64-bit) | [gf\_3.11\_amd64.deb](gf_3.11_amd64.deb) | GF, S, C, J, P | `sudo dpkg -i gf_3.11_amd64.deb` |
| Windows | [gf-3.11-bin-windows.zip](gf-3.11-bin-windows.zip) | GF, S | `unzip gf-3.11-bin-windows.zip` |
**Features**
- GF = GF shell and grammar compiler
- S = `gf -server` mode
- C = C run-time system
- J/P = Java/Python binding to the C run-time system
### Notes
The Windows package is installed by just unpacking it anywhere. You will
probably need to set the `PATH` and `GF_LIB_PATH` environment variables,
see Inari's notes on [Installing GF on Windows](http://www.grammaticalframework.org/~inari/gf-windows.html#toc3).
The Ubuntu `.deb` packages should work on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 and
similar Linux distributions. The `.deb` packages were updated
to version 3.10-2 after the release of GF 3.10.
(Because of a packaging bug the Resource Grammar Library was missing
in the 3.10-1 packages.)
The packages for macOS (Mac OS X) should work on at least 10.13 and
10.14 (High Sierra and Mojave)
## Installing the latest release from source
[GF is on Hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gf), so under
normal circumstances the procedure is fairly simple:
1. Install a recent version of the [Haskell
Platform](http://hackage.haskell.org/platform) (see note below)
2. `cabal update`
3. On Linux: install some C libraries from your Linux distribution (see note below)
4. `cabal install gf`
This installs the GF executable and Haskell libraries, but **does not include the RGL**.
You can also download the source code release from [GitHub](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core/releases),
and follow the instructions below under **Installing from the latest developer source code**.
### Notes
**Installation location**
The above steps installs GF for a single user. The executables are put
in `$HOME/.cabal/bin` (or, with recent versions of the Haskell platform
on Mac OS X, in `$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin`), so it is a good idea to
put a line in your `.bash_profile` or `.profile` to add that directory
to you path:
```
PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH
```
or
```
PATH=$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin:$PATH
```
**Build tools**
In order to compile GF you need the build tools **Alex** and **Happy**.
These can be installed via Cabal, e.g.:
```
cabal install alex happy
```
or obtained by other means, depending on your OS.
**Haskeline**
GF uses [`haskeline`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline), which
on Linux depends on some non-Haskell libraries that won't be installed
automatically by cabal, and therefore need to be installed manually.
Here is one way to do this:
- On Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install libghc-haskeline-dev`
- On Fedora: `sudo dnf install ghc-haskeline-devel`
**GHC version**
The GF source code has been updated to compile with GHC 8.4.
Using older versions of GHC (e.g. 8.2, 8.0 and 7.10) should still work too.
## Installing from the latest developer source code
If you haven't already, clone the repository with:
```
git clone https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core.git
```
If you've already cloned the repository previously, update with:
```
git pull
```
Then install with:
```
cabal install
```
or, if you're a Stack user:
```
stack install
```
The above notes for installing from source apply also in these cases.
For more info on working with the GF source code, see the
[GF Developers Guide](../doc/gf-developers.html).
## Installing the RGL from source
To install the RGL from source,
you can download a release from [GitHub](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/releases)
or get the latest version by cloning the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl.git
```
In both cases, once you have the RGL sources you can install them by running:
```
make
```
in the RGL folder.
This assumes that you already have GF installed.
For more details about building the RGL, see the [RGL README](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/blob/master/README.md).
## Installing the Python bindings from PyPI
The Python library is available on PyPI as `pgf`, so it can be installed using:
```
pip install pgf
```
We provide binary wheels for Linux and OSX (with Windows missing so far), which
include the C runtime and a ready-to-go. If there is no binary distribution for
your platform, this will install the source tarball, which will attempt to build
the binding during installation, and requires the GF C runtime to be installed on
your system.
