This page describes how a system administrator can install GeoGebra on many devices at once.
GeoGebra Desktop Software
Windows
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).
MacOS X
We provide GeoGebra in two ways for MacOS X:
- As a .zip package, available on GeoGebra’s Portable Download page.
- 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
The following GeoGebra Linux installers are available:
- 64 bit / 32 bit installers for .deb based systems (Debian, Ubuntu)
- 64 bit / 32 bit installers for .rpm based systems (Red Hat, openSUSE)
- Portable Linux bundle for 64 and 32 bit Linux systems
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. Note that the portable version 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.
