GMT has also been installed under Linux and MkLinux, which are open source UNIX-like operating systems for PC and Mac OS 9, respectively. GMT also installs under all flavors of Windows and OS/2. GMT is very portable and should compile on almost any computer.

This directory contains binaries for a base distribution and packages to run on Mac OS X (release 10.6 and above). Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2 (and Mac OS X 10.1) are no longer supported but you can find the last supported release of R for these systems (which is R 1.7.1) here. Releases for old Mac OS X systems (through Mac OS X 10.5) and PowerPC Macs can be found in the old directory.

Note: CRAN does not have Mac OS X systems and cannot check these binaries for viruses.Although we take precautions when assembling binaries, please use the normal precautions with downloaded executables.

Package binaries for R versions older than 3.2.0 are only available from the CRAN archive so users of such versions should adjust the CRAN mirror setting (https://cran-archive.r-project.org) accordingly.

R 3.6.3 'Holding the Windsock' released on 2020/02/29

Important: since R 3.4.0 release we are now providing binaries for OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and higher using non-Apple toolkit to provide support for OpenMP and C++17 standard features. To compile packages you may have to download tools from the tools directory and read the corresponding note below.

Please check the MD5 checksum of the downloaded image to ensure that it has not been tampered with or corrupted during the mirroring process. For example type
md5 R-3.6.3.pkg
in the Terminal application to print the MD5 checksum for the R-3.6.3.pkg image. On Mac OS X 10.7 and later you can also validate the signature using
pkgutil --check-signature R-3.6.3.pkg

Latest release:

R-3.6.3.pkg (notarized, for Catalina) SHA1-hash: 2677aaf9da03e101f9e651c80dbec25461479f56 (ca. 77MB) R-3.6.3.nn.pkg (regular) SHA1-hash: c462c9b1f9b45d778f05b8d9aa25a9123b3557c4 (ca. 77MB)	R 3.6.3 binary for OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and higher, signed package. Contains R 3.6.3 framework, R.app GUI 1.70 in 64-bit for Intel Macs, Tcl/Tk 8.6.6 X11 libraries and Texinfo 5.2. The latter two components are optional and can be ommitted when choosing 'custom install', they are only needed if you want to use the tcltk R package or build package documentation from sources. macOS Catalina users must use notarized version which enforces hardened run-time. All others can use regular version which uses the same runtime as previous R releases. R 3.6.2 was the last version that can be run on Catalina with regular runtime. Note: the use of X11 (including tcltk) requires XQuartz to be installed since it is no longer part of OS X. Always re-install XQuartz when upgrading your macOS to a new major version. Important: this release uses Clang 7.0.0 and GNU Fortran 6.1, neither of which is supplied by Apple. If you wish to compile R packages from sources, you will need to download and install those tools - see the tools directory.

GMT is available on Windows, macOS and Linux.Source and binary packages are provided for the latest release,and can be downloaded from the GMT main siteand the GitHub repository.

This file provides instructions for installing GMT binary packages ondifferent operating systems. Please refer to the Building Instructionsfor compiling GMT source package (either stable release or development version).

Contents

• macOS
• Linux
• Cross Platform Install Instructions

Windows

We provide 32 and 64 bit standalone installers (e.g., gmt-6.x.x-win64.exe)on the GMT main site.The installers come with GDAL, FFmpeg, and Ghostscript pre-installed.

In addition to the GMT installer, you also need to download and installGraphicsMagick if you want to createanimated GIFs.

macOS

Application Bundle

We provide macOS application bundle on the GMT main site.The bundle comes with GDAL, FFmpeg, Ghostscript and GraphicsMagick pre-installed.

Download the application bundle (gmt-6.x.x-darwin-x86_64.dmg), double-click to mount itand drag GMT-6.x.x.app to the 'Applications' folder (or any other folder).

GMT-6.x.x.app opens a terminal from which you can invoke GMT programs and scripts.If you like, you can add the GMT programs contained in the application bundle toyour search path for executables. For that, just run GMT-6.x.x.app once and followthe instructions at the end of the GMT splash screen.

Note: The installer is always built for the latest macOS version only,and works for macOS Sierra (10.12) or higher.

Install via Homebrew

Installation of GMT through Homebrew is extremely simple.Installing Homebrew itself is a one line command only (see the Homebrew page).You may need to update the formulas so for that you will do:

For the latest stable GMT 6 release, use:

For the latest unstable/developing version (i.e. the master branch), run:

You also need to install other GMT run-time dependencies separately:

If you want to install GMT 5 and GMT 6 alongside, do:

To go from GMT 6 to GMT 5 (but see also the doc about gmtswitch):

And to go from GMT 5 to GMT 6:

Install via MacPorts

Install MacPorts and then the required ports in this order:

Optional FFTW-3 support and experimental OpenMP parallel acceleration can beenabled with the +fftw3 and +openmp flags.

You also need to install other GMT run-time dependencies separately:

For the legacy GMT 4 or GMT 5 versions, use:

or:

Install via fink

Installation of GMT through Fink is quite easy.All required packages will also be installed.

For the latest GMT 6 version, use:

You also need to install other GMT run-time dependencies separately:

For legacy GMT 5 version, use:

For legacy GMT 4 version, use: Panasonic sv-av20 driver for mac.

These three GMT versions cannot live side by side.

Linux

Fedora

The GMT binary packages provided by the Fedora official repositories are usually too old.We provide the GMT official RPM repositoryto allow Fedora users access the latest GMT releases in an easy way.

NOTE: The RPM repository provides GMT packages for Fedora 30 or newer only!

Fedora users can add the GMT official RPM repository and install gmt by:

You may also install other optional dependencies for more capabilities within GMT:

Note:If you already installed the GMT packages provided by Fedora,you have to uninstall them before installing the new GMT packages providedby the official GMT repository. You can uninstall the older packages by:

RHEL/CentOS

GMT binary packages are available from Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL).However, EPEL is far hebind packaging a recent version.We provide the GMT official RPM repositoryto allow RHEL/CentOS users access the latest GMT releases in an easy way.

NOTE: Currently, GMT on RHEL/CentOS 8 doesn't provide GDAL support.:

For RHEL/CentOS, run:

You may also install other optional dependencies for more capabilities within GMT:

Note:If you already installed the GMT packages provided by EPEL,you have to uninstall them before installing the new GMT packages providedby the official GMT repository. You can uninstall the older packages by:

Ubuntu/Debian

Note: Ubuntu/Debian are way behind in packing a recent GMT version.Typically you may find they offer 5.2.1 from 2015 while the rest of us havemoved on to 2019. Your best bet then is tobuild the latest release from source.Otherwise, installing from the distros goes like this:

Install GMT5 via

Install other GMT dependencies (some are optional) via:

Note: The Ubuntu package under 16.04 LTS for mysterious reasons does notinclude the supplements. If you need them you will need tobuild from source or upgrade to 18.04 LTS.

ArchLinux

It's easier to manage installed content and dependencies than directlybuilding and manually make install in ArchLinux.

Note: Binary packages of gmt are still not available in ArchlinuxCN repo yet.

Cross Platform Install Instructions

Install via conda

You can use the conda package manager that comes with theAnaconda Python Distribution to install GMT.

1. Download and install the Python 3.764-bit version of Miniconda.This will give you access to the conda package manager. Make sure you select tohave conda added to your PATH when asked by the installer. If you havethe Anaconda Python distribution installed, you won't need to do this step.

2. Install GMT and its dependencies (including ghostscript, gdal, ffmpeg and graphicsmagick)by running the following in a terminal:

   NOTE: Currently conda-forge doesn't provide graphicsmagick on win-64 platform.Windows users need to download and install graphicsmagick separately.

3. If you want to install GMT 5, use:
