QGIS is available on Windows, MacOS X and Linux. Binary packages are provided
for the current version. The current version is QGIS 1.7.2 and was
released on 21 November 2011.
Quantum GIS is open source software available under the terms of the GNU
General Public License meaning that its source code can be downloaded through
tarballs or the git repository.
For testing and learning purpose, we also provide a sample dataset, which
contains collections of data from different sources and in different formats,
like GPS data, a small GRASS location, GeoTiff, ERDAS Img, Shape or GML
formats.
{{Warning|*Warning:* Development versions from master are provided for some platforms in addition to the released version. 'Master' contains unreleased software that is currently being worked on. As such they are unsupported and only provided for testing purposes to early adopters to check if bugs have been resolved and that no new bugs have been introduced. At any given time it may not work, or may do bad things to your data. Use as your own risk. You have been warned.}}
Windows¶
Standalone Installer (recommended for new users)¶
The standalone windows installer is also based on the OSGeo4W packages and
includes GRASS.

For the nostalgic, older releases of QGIS Windows standalone installer are available here.
OSGeo4W Installer¶
The OSGeo4W repository contains a lot of software from OSGeo projects. QGIS 1.7.2 and all dependencies are included, along with Python, GRASS, GDAL, etc. This is most suitable for people who want to be able to update dependencies from the OSGeo4W repository easily. The installer is able to install from internet or just download all needed packages beforehand. In both cases the downloaded files are kept in a local directory for future installations.
In the installer choose Desktop Express Install and select QGIS to install Quantum GIS.
Master¶
Nightly builds of the Master are also available through the OSGeo4W Installer for testing purposes. Use Advanced Install to install the qgis-dev package from the Desktop section.
Linux¶
Debian¶
Add the lines for one of the repositories of the following sections to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, then type:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install qgis
Release¶
Package of QGIS 1.7 for Debian Lenny and Squeeze for i386 and amd64 are available at:
| Lenny| |
deb http://qgis.org/debian lenny main deb-src http://qgis.org/debian lenny main| | Squeeze| |
deb http://qgis.org/debian squeeze main deb-src http://qgis.org/debian squeeze main
|
Note: Please remove all the QGIS and Grass packages you have installed
from the Gfoss repository before doing the update.
With updated dependencies¶
The Association GFOSS.it provides packages for QGIS 1.7 for Squeeze for i386 and amd65 along with updated
versions of GDAL and GRASS:
| Squeeze| |
deb http://debian.gfoss.it/debian squeeze main deb-src http://debian.gfoss.it/debian squeeze main
|
Master¶
Nightly builds of the Master are available from following repository (i386 and amd64):
| Squeeze| |
deb http://qgis.org/debian-nightly squeeze main deb-src http://qgis.org/debian-nightly squeeze main| | Unstable| |
deb http://qgis.org/debian-nightly sid main deb-src http://qgis.org/debian-nightly sid main
|
Although the nightly builds can be used to test newer versions, they are mainly meant to test, if the newer qgis versions still build fine on the various distributions using the various (older) versions of libraries found there. Therefore it is not intended to build versions that depend on more current libraries. That means if you need current qgis version with more uptodate libraries you will have to build them yourself.
To add the the qgis.org repository public key to your apt keyring, type:
gpg --recv-key 1F9ADD375CA44993 gpg --export --armor 1F9ADD375CA44993 | sudo apt-key add -
Fedora¶
QGIS 1.7.2 is available for Fedora 14, 15 and 16. Fedora splits QGIS into 4 packages: qgis, qgis-python, qgis-grass and qgis-mapserver.
If you don't need the QGIS Mapserver or support for GRASS or Python, just leave out the corresponding packages in your yum call.
# yum install qgis qgis-python qgis-grass qgis-mapserver
The pound sign (#) indicates, that you must run yum as the root user. Don't type the pound sign!
QGIS 1.7.2 is currently in updates-testing for Fedora 15 and 16. You can test-drive it by running:
# yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing qgis qgis-python qgis-grass qgis-mapserver
RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux, ...¶
Try the ELGIS repository: http://elgis.argeo.org/
If you want to try the cutting edge: http://elgis.argeo.org/repos/testing/6/elgis/
They're happy if you provide feedback on their mailing list.
If neither works for you, you can try to rebuild the Fedora SRPM. The Fedora 15 version of QGIS builds in Mock for EPEL 6. Notice, this package will not support GRASS, because there is no GRASS package in RHEL/EPEL.
argeo.org has a wiki on rebuilding their packages. For a more general quick guide in rebuilding, you can also take a look at http://zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/howto/rebuild_rpms

Alaska¶
There is a QGIS Alaska sample dataset available including raster, imagery and vector data in several formats including a GRASS database. The dataset contains a collection of data from several sources and can be used according to their different licenses. A README file with more information is shipped with the dataset. The dataset is projected as Alaska Equal Area with unit feet (EPSG 2964). The QGIS manual contains many examples based on these data.
The windows installer has an option to download these data during installation, for other OS you can download the dataset.
GRASS' Spearfish and North Carolina sample data sets¶
For extensive testing and working with GRASS functionalities included in the QGIS GRASS-Plugin, there are also many sample GRASS data, e.g. the Spearfish or North Carolina sample locations available from the GRASS GIS project. Data are also provided there in common GIS formats.
