Ready-to-use binary packages are available to install GPlates on Windows, macOS and Ubuntu. These also include the GPlates-compatible geodata described below.

• For Windows, we provide an .exe installer for a 64-bit version of GPlates on a 64-bit version of Windows. We also provide a .zip file for users who wish to use GPlates without installing it.
• For macOS on Intel (x86_64), we provide a .dmg disk image containing a 64-bit version of GPlates for Catalina (10.15) or above.
• For macOS on Apple Silicon (arm64), we provide a .dmg disk image containing a 64-bit version of GPlates for Big Sur (11) or above.
• For Ubuntu, we provide .deb packages for 64-bit Ubuntu versions (that are currently under support).
  • If you are using a different Linux distribution please use the source code package instead.

These binary packages, and their installation instructions, can be found on the download page.

Source-code packages are also available for Windows (in a zip-file) and Linux and macOS (in a tarball) on the download page. Instructions on how to compile GPlates from source code can be found here.
