Ancestry will run on different computer systems but each computer system (Windows, MacOs or Linux) will require a different installation process.
Ancestris on Windows
Ancestris runs on Windows, provided you have installed javascript first, since this computer program has been written in Java.
Go on ancestris.org website (a link will be provided below). By default, the website page is often displayed in French (at least on my web browser this is so ... ) but if you want to switch to another language you just have to look for a little blue flag on the right hand corner of the page and you will see a list of different languages scrolling down, just select the one you want and the website will turn to your own language of choice.
To download the installation package, scroll down the page till you find the Windows section, click on it and the file download will start right away.
Once your file is downloaded, copy-paste this file to your SSD / hard drive on your computer and open it .
Follow the different steps till the installation process is complete.
You will find a new screen icon named Ancestris and you will just have to click on it to open the program.
But be careful, make sure you have installed javascript first or the program might not open at all.
Click on the following link if you want to visit the Ancestris webpage and download this program : https://www.ancestris.org/index.html

Ancestris on Linux distros
Ancestris on Fedora

Go to the Ancestris website, scroll down till the Linux section and click on Fedora, Redhat, Mandriva type of file to download the rpm file.
The RPM package manager should be enabled first on your system.

On Ubuntu-based distributions you will need a package manager called Gdebi to open and install the Ancestris program (or another speedy package manager called Eddy on ElementaryOS or PopOS).
Make sure you have this package manager installed on your system or copy-paste this line command in the terminal and follow instructions in the terminal:
sudo apt install gdebi
and follow instructions in the terminal until the installation process is finished.
Ancestris on Debian and Mint
You'd rather use another package manager called Synaptic.
Ancestris on Arch-based systems like Manjaro
Use the AUR repository in Pamac which is the Manjaro graphical package manager.
Click on the AUR tab.
