Install Gruterra.
Then take time to explore.
Start with the demo without hardware, then move on to tracking your own plants when you are ready.
Download Gruterra 0.1.8-devDevelopment release published on 8 November 2026. Installation is still being improved.
1. Extract the archive
Download the release ZIP and extract it into a simple folder, such as C:\Gruterra. Run the files from the extracted folder.
2. Install the components
Double-click Installer_Gruterra.bat. The installer prepares the local environment, installs dependencies and checks the required components.
Gruterra requires Python 3.10 or newer with Tkinter. If Python is missing, the installer attempts to install it from the official website. Wait for final confirmation before starting the application.
If this step is blocked, install Python from python.org, then run the installer again.
3. Choose your first launch
Lancer_Demo.bat: explore fictional plants and measurements without hardware.
Lancer_Gruterra.bat: start real tracking with a local database. Configure sensors and weather later according to your equipment.
Discover demo modeYour tracking stays local
Your plants, observations and private settings stay on your computer. A first installation does not require sending your database to the Gruterra website.
Update an existing installation
The 0.1.8-dev preview is not yet offered by the automatic updater. The ZIP is intended for a separate test installation. Back up your data and keep your existing installation intact.
Your installation folder contains your local data: do not replace its entire contents with a new archive to update it.
