GNU is an operating system which is 100% free software. It was launched in 1983
by Richard Stallman (rms) and has been developed by many people working together
for the sake of freedom of all software users to control their computing.
Technically, GNU is generally like Unix. But unlike Unix, GNU gives its users
freedom.

The GNU system contains all of the official GNU software packages (which are
listed below), and also includes non-GNU free software, notably TeX and the X
Window System. Also, the GNU system is not a single static set of programs;
users and distributors may select different packages according to their needs
and desires. The result is still a variant of the GNU system.

If you're looking for a whole system to install, see our list of GNU/Linux
distributions which are entirely free software.

To look for individual free software packages, both GNU and non-GNU, please see
the Free Software Directory: a categorized, searchable database of free
software. The Directory is actively maintained by the Free Software Foundation
and includes links to program home pages where available, as well as entries for
all GNU packages. Another list of all GNU packages is below. Free software
documentation links are listed separately.

Finally, we have a short list of free software replacements for proprietary
software running on various proprietary systems.

We have also published a list of recommended educational software.




HOW TO GET GNU SOFTWARE

Download distributions



If you're looking for a whole system to install, see our list of GNU/Linux
distributions which are entirely free software.

GNU software is available by several different methods:

 * Download a wholly free GNU/Linux distribution.
 * Get a copy from a friend.
 * Buy a computer with a wholly free GNU/Linux system preinstalled from one of
   the companies that offers this.
 * Download individual packages from the web or via FTP: we provide source code
   for all GNU software as free software, and free of charge. (Please also make
   a donation to the FSF if you can, to help support the development of more
   free software.)
 * Use the GNU Guix functional package manager to install and manage GNU package
   releases.
 * Use the GNU GSRC collection to easily install the latest GNU package releases
   on their own, without conflicting with any system versions.
 * Use the GNU PPA (Personal Package Archive) on Trisquel, gNewSense, or related
   distros to get the latest releases suitably packaged.
 * Get the development sources for a package and build them. Many GNU packages
   keep their development sources at the GNU hosting site savannah.gnu.org. Some
   packages use other source repositories, or have none at all. Each package's
   web pages should give the specifics.


DEVELOP GNU SOFTWARE

The FSF maintains a list of high-priority free software projects; please help
with these projects if you can. For other ways to contribute to GNU, including
reviving unmaintained GNU packages and helping with development, see the GNU
help wanted page.

If you're writing a new program and would like to make your software an official
GNU package, see the evaluation information and submission form. Refer to the
ethical repository criteria for guidance choosing a hosting service for your
project.

If you're maintaining or developing a GNU package, whether newly dubbed or of
long standing, this short list of tips for GNU maintainers may be useful, along
with this information about GNU software developer resources.




ALL GNU PACKAGES

Links to the home pages of all current GNU packages are given below, using their
identifiers (rather than long names) for brevity. They are sorted alphabetically
from left to right. If you have corrections to this list or questions about it,
please email <maintainers@gnu.org>.

Also available are lists of:

 * short descriptions for all GNU packages;
 * documentation for GNU packages (arranged by category);
 * GNU package logos; and
 * recent GNU releases.
