This page explains how to install Inkscape, either the stable or the development version. For instructions on how to compile Inkscape from the source code, see Compiling Inkscape.
The latest stable version can always be found on the Download webpage. The latest development versions are available from [[1]].
For Mac OS X 10.4 or later, although you'll need to install the X11 server. The first time that you run Inkscape, it will take a few minutes to start up. Mac OS X Leopard users have a version of Inkscape adapted to their system. Click here to download it.
Installing Inkscape on Windows¶ Inkscape is available for Microsoft Windows operating systems from XP up to Windows 10. There are two basic methods for installing Inkscape onto computers with a Windows operating system. One method is downloading and installing directly from Inkscape and the other is installing it from the Microsoft App store. The full release notes for Inkscape 1.0 can be found in the Wiki, or you can use the following list to jump directly to the feature / area that you are interested in most: General: Application Performance.
Installing on a Mac
Please refer to the installation instructions at our web page for OS X downloads and to the section dedicated to OS X in our FAQ.
How To Download Inkscape On MacInstalling on Linux
On most Linux systems, you can use the software installer provided with your system (look for 'software' in your start menu) to install Inkscape.
Visit https://inkscape.org/releases to see a list of other available options and installation methods for each available version.
Ubuntu or Debian LinuxHow To Download Inkscape For Mac
Probably the easiest way to install on Debian/Ubuntu is to use the apt command.
Open a terminal and type;
If your Ubuntu version does not have the most current Inkscape version in its repositories (yet), you can use the stable ppa to get the latest stable Inkscape release.
Ubuntu Linux New Stable Versions
The most recent stable version (slightly newer than what is available directly from Ubuntu) is available from our stable PPA for Ubuntu and derivative Linux distributions.
Ubuntu Linux Development Versions
Development versions (inkscape-trunk) are available from our trunk ppa for Ubuntu and derivative Linux distributions.You just have to follow the commands at https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-master/gnulinux/ubuntu/ppa/dl/ .
Note: Development versions offer some nice new features, but can be somewhat unstable, so save often. Inexperienced users will also quite possibly have problems installing them.
openSUSE
openSUSE includes Inkscape in the Gnome repositories. The newest version of Inkscape releases is in Gnome:Apps.
Installing on a Windows systemStable version
You can find the installer on the download page. Normally you want to choose '64-bit architecture' and 'MSI package'. Installing should be an easy step-by-step (next-next-finish) process.
Unstable development version
First be warned. Unstable and development mean you likely will encounter crashes, usability problems and sometimes lose data. Ctrl+S will become your friend. If you cannot take this risk, please use the stable version instead.
If you are still reading, you are probably one of the brave ones who wants to be on the bleeding edge. If so, follow these steps:
1. Download the latest build
Follow the instructions on the 'master' branch download page to download a 7zip file of the latest master (development) build. Save the file (inkscape-….7z) to your Downloads folder.
2. Extract the .7z archive
Extract the archive using the 7zip unpacker: Open the Downloads folder in Explorer, right-click on the 7Z file and choose 7-Zip → Extract to 'inkscape-....'.
You will get a directory which contains several files including inkscape.exe.
3. Run inkscape
Run the inkscape.exe file by double clicking it. That's it. You can also drag files to inkscape.exe to have these opened.
Don't forget: please help Inkscape by reporting bugs, encouraging developers or fixing bugs yourself. If you find bugs, make sure to include the version (name of the 7z file, like inkscape-)
Multiple versions for testing
For testing purposes it is good to be able to test multiple versions of Inkscape to find when and where some problem first appeared. For this reason you are able to store and use as many parallel versions of Inkscape as your disk has room for.
