== Other platforms ==
 
Currently no other platforms are supported. From version 4.4 GeoGebra uses some platform dependent libraries which are currently not available on other platforms than Windows 32/64 bit, Mac 64 bit and Linux 32/64 bit. We may add support for other architectures in future as well.

This page describes how a system administrator can install GeoGebra on many devices at once.

GeoGebra Desktop Software

Windows workstations

To install GeoGebra Desktop on many Windows computers in a network:

  • download the .msi installer of the latest stable version from http://download.geogebra.org/installers/, e.g. GeoGebra-Windows-Installer-4-4-6-0.msi to a network folder being accessible from all workstations, e.g. \\INSTALL\GeoGebra\.
  • install GeoGebra silently on each workstation: msiexec /i \\INSTALL\GeoGebra\GeoGebra-Windows-Installer-4-4-6-0.msi /qn. You may want to put this command into a batch file to save time for typing. It may also be convenient to use remote command execution by using the PsExec utility to install GeoGebra on all devices.

Note that GeoGebra will be automatically updating minor new versions (e.g. 4.4.6 to 4.4.7) by downloading the new version into the user’s Application Data folder and then using it after the next restart of the software. So, you will only need to do a new installation when you want to switch to a new major version (e.g. from 4.4 to 5.0).

Mac OS X workstations

We provide GeoGebra in two ways for MacOS X:

  1. As a .zip package, available on GeoGebra’s Portable Download page.
  2. Via the Mac App Store.

Please note that the Portable version will not update automatically, while the App Store version will automatically update to any new version (both minor and major) . The App Store version may have a slightly different look at the Load/Save dialogs as it's running in sandboxed mode.

Linux workstations

The following GeoGebra Linux installers are available from GeoGebra’s Download page:

  1. 64/32 bit installers for .deb based systems (Debian, Ubuntu)
  2. 64/32 bit installers for .rpm based systems (Red Hat, openSUSE)

The .deb and .rpm installers will automatically add the official GeoGebra repository to the package management system on the workstation. This will enable automatic update of GeoGebra every time when a new version is released. By clicking on the download link on GeoGebra’s Download page the appropriate version will be served for the current workstation. If you need to download GeoGebra for a different platfom, you can directly download it by the request http://www.geogebra.org/installers/deb.php?bit=... or http://www.geogebra.org/installers/rpm.php?bit=... where ... can be “64” or “32”.

Furthermore, our Portable Download page provides a

  1. Common portable bundle for 64 and 32 bit Linux systems

which will not automatically update.

If you want to include GeoGebra in your custom Linux distribution with GeoGebra included. The best way is to add the official GeoGebra repository (http://www.geogebra.net/linux/) to your package management system. The GPG key of the repository is at http://www.geogebra.net/linux/office@geogebra.org.gpg.key. The name of the package is geogebra44. This will conflict with the earlier versions, both 4.0 and 4.2, which are named geogebra and should be deleted first.

GeoGebra Tablet Apps

If you would like to do a mass installation of our GeoGebra Tablet Apps on Windows, Android or iOS devices, please let us know about your project and needs at office@geogebra.org and we will do our best to help.
