Ghostscript integration

[Krikor]

The first thing to do is to download the Ghostscript file.

After downloading it, do not run it! (Do not run the gs925w64.exe file or whatever the version you downloaded is).

Unzip this .exe file with 7-zip (right-click on the file name and select and extract to GS 952w-64) - It will unzip inside the folder where the downloaded executable file is located).

Then you will now have the downloaded .exe file and the new unzipped folder with the same name.
Inside this folder will be the Ghostscript files.
So in the bin folder, you rename it to gs.

Now you go back to the previous folder and enter the lib folder. Select all the files inside this folder (lib).
Go back to the gs folder and paste all the contents inside it.
Now you will copy the gs folder to the root of your system drive C:

Now you need to change the Windows environment variables.
To do this, you can type 'environment' in the Windows search box and you will find the option to edit the system environment variables.

Click on this option, which will open the System Properties window.
Then go to the Environment Variables option and click on it.

Another window will appear, the Environment Variables window. 
Then, at the bottom, where System Variables is, look for the Path variable.
Select this variable and click on edit.
Then you will create a new path and you will then enter the path of the gs folder that is in the Root C:, which is where you pasted the gs folder.
Now you should be able to open .eps files in GIMP and Inkscape.

   

Good luck.


I'm sorry, it was only after I wrote this whole text that I realized that you use Mac and not Windows. 

Anyway, I think that if any Windows user has the same question in the future, they might find this text useful.
