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.

Researchers in the EarthByte Project have made GPlates-compatible data available for use with GPlates.

A sample set of these data-files are also contained within the GPlates installation packages, and will be automatically installed with GPlates. This data has been updated for the GPlates 2.5 release. Thanks to the EarthByte Project for making these data-files available!
