| Hello, Hopefully someone can walk me through this, This is a brand new
| MacBook and when setting it up it went into a Catalina update and here I
| am... I've got the GIMP 2.10 installer on my desktop, I right click on
| it, a windows opens with GIMP 2.10.app, and that's as far as I get. I
| "open" the the GIMP-2.10.app and nothing, I don't wind up with a GIMP
| app and literally nothing happens. No app in launchpad or finder.
| Greatly appreciate help!

Unless things have changed drastically in Catalina (and from what I read, 
they may have, and not for the better), you need to left click on the 
installer and when it opens drag the resulting icon onto your desktop, 
after which you'll get a warning about it coming from a non-Apple source 
and so on. Tell it to install anyway. Whereupon it will install. Or 
should, anyway -- Catalina seems to have broken several things, including 
some photo-related ones.
