What No GIMP

[jglen490]

You can look in /etc/apt/sources to see if

ubuntu xenial-updates/universe

is listed, and add it if it's not there.

GIMP is also available as an Appimage, which is what I have. Now if I can only learn how to use it...

Why not try Krita?

What does

apt policy gimp

show on your system? Have you enabled the universe repo?

Hello,

Thanks for responding.

apt policy gimp

gives:

andrew@Toshiba-Satellite-L350:~$ apt policy gimp
gimp:
 Installed: (none)

I am not familiar with the 'universe repo', or how to enable it.

I was very surprised to note that GIMP is not in the muon package manager. Are those using GIMP installing via a ppa?
