Standalone installers¶

For beginners the easiest way is using the standalone installers:

See also The main installers page.

The weekly snapshots of the nightly qgis-dev package of OSGeo4W are for users that cannot use OSGeo4W (see below) for some reason or just prefer standalone installers. In the feature freeze phase that also acts as release candidate.

OSGeo4W installer¶

More advanced QGIS users should use OSGeo4W packages, which for one make it possible to install several versions in parallel and also to do much more efficient updates as only changed components are downloaded and installed.

The OSGeo4W repository contains a lot of software from OSGeo projects. QGIS and all dependencies are included, along with Python, GRASS, GDAL, etc. The installer is able to install from internet or just download all needed packages beforehand. The downloaded files are kept in a local directory for future installations and could also be used to install offline.

Steps are:

• Download OSGeo4W Installer and start it

• Choose Express Install and select QGIS to install the latest release and/or QGIS LTR to install the long term release.

Alternatively to Express you also use the Advanced Install, navigate to the Desktop section and pick one or more of the following packages:

The packages listed in the table only install the necessary packages to run QGIS. Corresponding to those packages there are also meta packages with the postfix -full-free and -full. The former contains additional optional dependencies that some popular - not included - plugins use and the latter include the former and also add proprietary extensions like Oracle, ECW and MrSID.

The Express installs reference the corresponding -full variant and the standalone installers are also made from these OSGeo4W package sets.

Before installing any of the nightly builds note the warning.

Fedora¶

W dowolnej wersji Fedory pakiety można pobrać wykonując:

sudo dnf install qgis python3-qgis qgis-grass qgis-server

Default Fedora software repositories often hold older versions of QGIS.

To have newer versions or the latest LTR, you have to add alternative software repositories based on the version you want to install (stable, LTR or testing).

sudo dnf copr enable dani/qgis

sudo dnf install qgis python3-qgis qgis-grass

sudo dnf install qgis-server python3-qgis

sudo dnf copr enable dani/qgis-ltr

sudo dnf install qgis python3-qgis qgis-grass

sudo dnf install qgis-server python3-qgis

SUSE / openSUSE¶

Latest stable and LTR packages called qgis and qgis-ltr are available in the following repositories:

Wszystkie pakiety posiadają obsługę GRASS i Pythona.

All openSUSE Geo repositories can be found here: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/

Mandriva¶

urpmi qgis-python qgis-grass

Slackware¶

Arch Linux¶

pacman -S qgis

yaourt -S qgis-ltr

yaourt -S qgis-git

Flatpak¶

There is an QGIS flatpak for QGIS Stable available, maintained by the flathub community.

For general Linux Flatpak install notes, see https://flatpak.org/setup/

QGIS on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.qgis.qgis

To install:

flatpak install --from https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.qgis.qgis.flatpakref

Then to run:

flatpak run org.qgis.qgis

To update your flatpak QGIS:

flatpak update

On certain distributions, you may also need to install xdg-desktop-portal or xdg-desktop-portal-gtk packages in order for file dialogs to appear.

Flathub files: https://github.com/flathub/org.qgis.qgis and report issues here: https://github.com/flathub/org.qgis.qgis/issues

Note: if you need to install additional Python modules, because they are needed by a plugin, you can install the module with (here installing the scipy module):

flatpak run --devel --command=pip3 org.qgis.qgis install scipy --user

Spack¶

Spack is a distro agnostic package manager for Linux, which is developed in the context of high-performance computing.

General info on installing Spack: https://github.com/spack/spack

QGIS package file on Spack: https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/develop/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/qgis/package.py

To install:

spack install qgis

which builds and installs QGIS and all dependencies from scratch. Afterwards, QGIS can be used via:

spack load qgis

If additional python packages need to be installed, using a Spack environment is recommended. For example:

spack env create myenv
spack env activate -p myenv
spack add qgis py-lz4
spack install

Spack related issues should be reported at: https://github.com/spack/spack/issues

QGIS nightly release¶

A nightly updated standalone installer from QGIS master can be downloaded from here.

MacPorts¶

The package management system MacPorts offers both the latest release version (port qgis3) and the long term version (port qgis3-ltr). This will install QGIS with native architecture, Intel x86_64 or Apple ARM. Main software dependencies such as GDAL, PDAL and GRASS GIS are usually the latest version available.

Installing MacPorts and updating it and the ports are made with the Terminal. QGIS is however installed as an app bundle at /Applications/MacPorts/QGIS3.app.

Get information of a port:

sudo port info qgis3

Install port, e.g with GRASS GIS:

sudo port install qgis3 +grass

Update:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated

Old releases¶

Previous releases of the official installer can be downloaded from https://qgis.org/downloads/macos/.

Previous releases of the kyngchaos installer can be downloaded from https://www.kyngchaos.com/software/archive/qgis/. The oldest installers support macOS 10.4 Tiger.
