You can buy the full version of GCompris in the Windows Store.
Else, you can get the demo from the links below, and buy on our website the activation code to unlock the full version.
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, the software should automatically switch to software rendering mode. If the automatic switch doesn't work, you can manually select the software rendering mode by editing the configuration file (in ~/.config/gcompris/gcompris-qt.conf for Linux, %LocalAppData%/gcompris/GCompris.conf for Windows): find the line renderer=auto , replace auto with software and save the file. We are also interested to get some feedback to help us improve this auto-detection.
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.
The version for Android is distributed in the Play Store. The demo and the full version have separate installers.
Note: It is recommended to buy directly the full version from the store, not from the button in the demo. This way, you can share it with 5 family members using the Google Play Family Library. Also, a few users reported issues to unlock the demo.
We provide standalone packages for GNU/Linux. They should work on any distribution (requires at least linux kernel 3.10, and gstreamer 1.0).
To use it, open a terminal in the folder where you downloaded the installer and run these commands:
chmod u+x gcompris-qt-0.95-Linux64.sh
./gcompris-qt-0.95-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.

We provide a standalone package for Raspberry Pi. This package is a beta version. It was tested only on Raspberry Pi 3.
To use it, open a terminal in the folder where you downloaded the installer and run these commands:
chmod u+x gcompris-qt-0.95-raspberry-beta.sh
./gcompris-qt-0.95-raspberry-beta.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.
