Re: [Gimp-user] Cannot Install GIMP

Peter,

Go to my website (www.partha.com), download the zipfile and unzip. Run
McGimp. If you have issues, let me know.

Thanks,
Partha

I wasn't bragging when I mentioned how long I had been using Macs. Even

Terminal. I tried to follow your instructions with no result. But I finally
did get some result. Here is what I received:

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Ok, what I would try next is to run the app through terminal to see if any
debug/error information is output to the console.

Open terminal.
Navigate to the applications directory:


cd /Applications


Then run the GIMP app from the terminal:


./Gimp.app/Contents/MacOS/Gimp


Copy everything that is output on the terminal from that, and send it
here.

    I tried what you suggested. Before I describe what happened, let
    me explain that I already have set system preferences, Security &
    Privacy, to allow apps downloaded from anywhere. With that said,
    here's what happened when I followed your instructions. The app
    opened, but not actually. That is, the bar at the top of the
    screen says GIMP, but the bar is grayed back. When I click on
    'file' it does provide a drop down menu. Then I try to open a new
    project and nothing happens. So that is where it stands right now.
    I have also tried to open the app by double clicking on a file
    that was created in GIMP, but it will not launch the program.

    I know this must all sound very confusing. I have been using Macs
    for about 25 years and I have never experienced anything like this.

    Thanks for your help.

    So, Yosemite has a "feature" that will automatically _not_ run
    apps that are from an 'unidentified' developer.  This is
    _possibly_ what's happening here.

    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18657?locale=en_US

    So let's try this first:

    Using Finder, go to where you have the app (Applications
    folder).  Use Finder, not Launcher to get there.  Hold "Control"
    and click on the app icon, and choose "Open" from the shortcut
    menu.  That should set the app as a exclusion to this policy.     The
app _should_ open now.

    Try that and report back.

        I understand that you want to pick one install, but let me
        explain what is happening.

        I first tried to use the install by Simone Karin Lehmann at
        lisanet.de <http://lisanet.de>, because of the add-ons.
        However, when I click on 'download' it goes to SourceForge. I
        have read what was written about SourceForge on your site so
        that doesn't seem like a good option.

        When I click on _Download GIMP 2.8 from gimp.org
        <http://gimp.org>_ for the torrent install, I receive the
        following file:

_http://download.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.8/osx/gimp-2.8.14.dmg.torrent_
        (7 KB). When I try to open this link I get this message:
        Safari can’t open the file “gimp-2.8.14.dmg-4.torrent”
        because no available application can open it.

        So then I am left with clicking on: "If the torrent download
        doesn't work, you can also follow _this link_." Clicking on
        'this link' does download the following file:
        gimp-2.8.14.dmg. I then open this file and it produces a file
        called, GIMP.app. I then drag that file into the Applications
        folder, and double click the icon to open the app. Instead of
        the app being opened, nothing happens.

        So, where do we go from here?

        So, which one are you downloading to attempt to install?
Let's pick a single one to keep things simple for the moment.

        When you get the .dmg file, can you drag the app into a
        simple location, like your desktop?  Then try to launch the
        app from there.  What happens when you try to launch it?

            Hi, Pat!

            Thank you for your response. I'll try to answer your
            questions.

            I am attempting to install by going to gimp.org
            <http://gimp.org> and then clicking on the orange
            'download' button. I then clicked on the following links
            on the 'downloads' page.

                    Native builds

                    Currently there are two main installers:

                    A GIMP 2.8 DMG installer by Sven Claussner,
                    stock GIMP build without any add-ons. It works
                    on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and later. Just open
                    the downloaded DMG and drag and drop GIMP into
                    your "Applications" folder.

                    Download GIMP 2.8 from gimp.org
                    <http://gimp.org> . If the torrent download
                    doesn't work, you can also follow this link.
                    A build by Simone Karin Lehmann, with some extra
                    plug-ins and changes.

                    Download GIMP 2.8 from lisanet.de
                    <http://lisanet.de>


            On one occasion, I thought I had downloaded the program
            successfully, but after it was opened it would not
            respond, i.e. I could not open a new project. Since it
            was not working properly, I have uninstalled the program.

            I am not seeing any error messages while trying to install.

            I am still running OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.4.

            I do not recall which install was on the computer before.

            I hope this helps. If necessary, I will try to provide
            any other additional information.


            Thanks for your help,

            Peter

            Hi Peter!

            It's hard for us to diagnose how best to help you
            without more information.

            How are you attempting to re-install it, and what is
            happening that is preventing it from working?
            What, if any, error are you seeing while trying to install?
            Are you still on OSX Yosemite?  If not, which version?

            Which install did you previously have on your machine?

                were related to GIMP)
                the program began running poorly, if at all. I then
                uninstalled GIMP and
                attempted to reinstall it. However, I have not been
                able to do so. Also,
                since uninstalling GIMP, the problem with the
                computer has been fixed. I
                have tried both installers recommended on the
                'downloads' page of your site.

                Please help with how I can successfully install
                GIMP. I like this
                program a lot, and would like to be able to
                continue using it.
