Gimp 3 - rita - 12-27-2024 Hello, I am currently using GIMP 2.10, but I would like to install and use GIMP 3. How can I install and run it without deleting the 2.10 version? RE: Gimp 3 - Ofnuts - 12-27-2024 On Linux you can use an AppImage for Gimp3 installation, it will coexist with the 2.10. See other threads in this forum. More generally, AFAIK the only exclusion is both 2.10 and 3.00 as plain binaries(*). All other combinations can coexist. (*) Unless you home-compile them with a different "prefix" so they don't need to be in /usr.

You can get a linux flatpack see: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/devel/ This is "sandboxed" which is just another inconvenience. or Use an Appimage, there are various 'builds' but since you are using 'buntu I would go for this one see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-3-0-0-rc1-AppImage which has a link to https://github.com/TasMania17/Gimp-Appimages-Made-From-Debs/releases/tag/Gimp-v3.0.0rc1 Download, make it executable, run it. It makes its own Gimp user profile ~/.config/GIMP/3.0/ along side your Gimp 2.10 user profile - nothing lost from your existing setup. You should note that Gimp 3.0 RC1 is not for general use yet. It is for testing, but the appimage will give a good taste of what will come.

You can check using your file browser, right click and look at permissions. It does work here (kubuntu 24.04) with a double click which brings up a dialogue. [attachment=12837] or You can run it in a terminal using dot-slash-executable.name Code: ./gimp3-RC1-Lite-python3-amd64.AppImage 40 second video showing right - click options. https://i.imgur.com/6nXEogZ.mp4 RE: Gimp 3 - vitforlinux - 12-28-2024 The thing is different depending on the Desktop you use, but more or less Right click > permissions > make executable. In the terminal open in the folder where you have appimage chmod +x gimp3(press tab key for complete) However it is still early for Gimp 3.0 |
