T@G -> Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) 4 star tutorial. (12/11/2005 0:05:46)

Installing GIMP for Windows



Okay so Vader Has his overview but I wanted to get alittle more in depth, so I made my own tut for all you future GIMPers out there.

First, you'll want to go to this link: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gtk%2B-2.6.9-setup.zip? So you can download the mirror. Try to pick the one closest to your area
.

After downloading the mirror you will want to click on it to install it. Your screen will probably look like this so far:

Now click next on the GTK window and you will be prompted with this:

Now after succesfully finishing the installation of the GTK package you'll want to go to this link and download the actual GIMP itself:



Again, choose the mirror that you chose for the GTK package, to be on the safe side. Now double click on the GIMP icon on your desktop to begin the download.




If you failed to download the mirror you will get this ugly message:

But if all is well your screen will look something like this:

After going through the setup, which most likely you won't have to change anything, you can click finish and launch GIMP. Congrats.

nice tut, even though installing Gimp is an easy enough task :P

very nice though, easy to follow, good job :)



T@G -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 1:00:44)

Thanks, I didn't want it to look like I was dissing your tut.

And since someone is always asking about this I decided to spell it out in big shiny letters [:D]



Vader -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 1:36:44)

I totally don't mind anyone making other tuts for Gimp, its nice to see actually :)



Ice Cold Flame -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 8:08:39)

:S I followed this tut and when I tried to open GIMP it just sorta flashed and it didn't open >.> How do I fix this?



T@G -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 12:46:32)

I think I know what your problem is, are you running windows 98 or ME? If so you have to use a seperate mirror

either this one: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html#gtk

or this one: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gtk%2B-2.4.14-setup.zip?download

Then you should run the GIMP installer again. Let me know if this helps, so I can edit the tut.



BleedingAcid -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 13:53:32)

actually usually a lot of people complain about how gimp is really hard to install, so this tutorial should come in handy



Ice Cold Flame -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 15:03:39)

I'm running Windows XP Professional >.> And I'll try that.
EDIT: Nope, didn't work.



T@G -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 16:34:12)

So you can download the mirror and GIMP itself fine right? Try downloading a newer version from the site. I don't know what to tell you.



.Heads -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 22:58:24)

Is this a free trial? Or do you have do buy it somewhere?



.Fullmetal_Tmd -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 23:01:44)

Gimp is a free program...its a good one to start out with, too...



Major PWNAGE -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 23:04:30)

how the heck do u use it where do u use the tools like how do u draw stuff there is no screen to draw on



.Fullmetal_Tmd -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 23:18:22)

*looks around*...*looks around again*i guess i'll answer this one if he don't mind...
its easy to do something with gimp...just go to file>new, and then choose the size of a document u want...and to draw, you can use the line tool, or press K on the keyboard...that gives u the pen tool...



l2agnarok -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 23:28:13)

How do you use shiny effects o metallic effects?
In short wheres the effects button/menu thing?



.Fullmetal_Tmd -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/11/2005 23:33:36)

...ok, u opened up a new document, right? after u do so, go to the top, and look for the word 'Filters'...i thinks that what you're asking for...



T@G -> RE: Quick & Easy, Installing GIMP. (With Pictures.) (12/12/2005 13:18:48)
