Obtaining GNU PSPP
Binaries
PSPP works on most modern computers and most operating systems. The PSPP developers do not distribute official binaries of PSPP, but others have made unofficial ones available. The following is a list of some places to download them, organized by operating system.
GNU/Linux
Packages for PSPP are widely available. For Debian-derived systems,
run apt-get install pspp
; for Red Hat-derived systems,
run dnf install pspp
; and for a
distribution-independent PSPP Flatpak, visit
PSPP on
Flathub or run flatpak install flathub
org.gnu.pspp
.
Windows
You can install pspp on Windows 64 Bit via the pspp-1.6.2-install.exe installer. The windows installers for nightly builds are untested nightly builds.
MacOS
There are three ways to install PSPP on MacOS.
- The Application bundle provides the gui version via a normal installer. If you do not know what XCode is - go for this one.
-
MacPorts.
Run
port install pspp-devel
to get the latest and most featureful version of PSPP orport install pspp
to get an older but possibly better tested version (more information). - Homebrew. The PSPP brew tap also includes a description how to install the stable or the development version of PSPP.
Source
If you want to compile and install PSPP yourself, you can get the source code from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/pspp. Should this link be unavailable or unreasonably slow, please select a local mirror site. Once you have downloaded the tarball, refer to the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
Development Versions
PSPP is under continual improvement. You can get development versions if you are interested to see what the developers are working on. Development versions have undergone less testing than released versions.
You can fetch the latest development sources from the Savannah GIT repository. The installation procedure is more complex than for released versions, so we recommend this only for developers.
Automated builds of the development versions are performed typically every day.
