Bajar Greenstone

There are two major versions of the software: Greenstone2 and Greenstone3. Greenstone3 is under active development, and is recommended for download. We also provide maintenance releases for its forerunner, Greenstone2, which is widely used around the world. Greenstone3 is backwards compatible with Greenstone2 collections. If you are new to Greenstone we recommend downloading version 3. If you already have a Greenstone2 installation, you may choose between upgrading to the latest Greenstone2 release, or migrating to Greenstone3. The Librarian Interface in Greenstone3 includes a conversion tool to assist migrating collections.

Note: If you are unable to download the binary or package of your choice from SourceForge, drop us an email at the Greenstone mailing list with the requested version and we'll upload it for you at a more convenient location.
