Flatpak additional instructions

If the link above doesn't open your software installer, install with following command:

flatpak install --user https://flathub.org/beta-repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref

After installation, if GIMP is not shown as other applications (on menus, desktop overview, etc), run it with following command line:

flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP//beta

This installation will also provide regular auto update. Once again, if your distribution does not have proper support, you can always fall back to using the following command line:

flatpak update

Note: If you installed both the stable and beta repositories, the desktop (menus, etc.) will see only one version at a time. To make sure your desktop sees the development version, run this command:

flatpak make-current --user org.gimp.GIMP beta

Or respectively to restore the stable version as the visible GIMP application:

flatpak make-current --user org.gimp.GIMP stable

You may also create shortcuts running specifically one of the other version.

Snap additional instructions

If the link above doesn't open your software installer, install with following command:

snap install gimp --channel=preview

After installation, if GIMP is not shown as other applications (on menus, desktop overview, etc), run it with following command line:

snap run gimp

This installation will also provide regular auto update. Once again, if your distribution does not have proper support, you can always fall back to using the following command line:

snap refresh

Note: If you installed both the stable and preview channels, the desktop (menus, etc.) will see only one version at a time. To make sure your desktop sees the development version, run this command:

snap refresh gimp --channel=preview

Or respectively to restore the stable version as the visible GIMP application:

snap refresh gimp --channel=latest

You may also create shortcuts running specifically one of the other version.

Systems without AppImage, Flatpak or Snap support

GIMP can also run on Solaris and is available for the BSD family of systems such as FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

Please refer to the documentation for your Unix-like system on the installation of software.

For instructions on how to build GIMP from source code, you will want to read our developer website.

Automatic Development Builds

Automatic builds (sometimes called "nightlies") are generated at regular intervals by our Continuous Integration process. This allows to run the last version of our code, though be aware that it also means ⚠️ you would be running very experimental and not tested code! ⚠️
These builds are meant to test future GIMP versions and help us debug, we do not advise to use these for production.
