gimp terminal

[beezle]

something strange. l am using linux lite 6. i was looking on the internet for something similar to the old windows paint program and i came across, you guessed it, gimp. so being a little smart, i looked in my menu under graphics and all accessories. no gimp. next smart thing. i typed gimp in terminal. gimp 2.10 loaded up on my screen, i did my old paint things successfully, with no error messages, and closed gimp.  i incorrectly assumed i had installed gimp on my computer by type gimp in terminal. alas no gimp in my menu. so what the heck was that? and i can do it again.
