You can install GCompris from the Windows Store.
Note: the Windows Store requires Windows 10.
Else, you can download the installer from the links below.
System requirements: Windows 7, 8 or 10 with OpenGL 2 support.
Note: If your system doesn't have OpenGL 2 support or if it's not working properly, please use the entry GCompris (Safe Mode) in the start menu to launch GCompris with the software rendering mode which doesn't use OpenGL.
If you really need a version that runs on Windows XP, or if your system doesn't support the new version, you can use the last installer from the old GCompris 15.10.
To enable all the activities in this old version, you can use the code 200202 in the entry box that contains the word CODE when you start the application.
The version for Android is distributed in the Play Store.
We support both android 32bit and 64bit from the Play Store. The appropriate version is downloaded automatically depending on your Android operating system.

To use it, open a terminal in the folder where you downloaded the installer and run these commands:
chmod u+x gcompris-qt-1.0-Linux64.sh
./gcompris-qt-1.0-Linux64.sh
Then read the license or press q to skip it, answer yes to the questions, and the software will be installed in a new folder next to the installer.
Finally, to launch gcompris, go in the new folder, in bin, and double-click on gcompris-qt.sh.
Note: If your system doesn't have OpenGL 2 support or if it's not working properly, please add the option "--software-renderer" at the end of the last line of the script gcompris-qt.sh. Another way is to edit the configuration file (in ~/.config/gcompris-qt/gcompris-qt.conf): find the line renderer=auto , replace auto with software and save the file.
