I'd like to support G'MIC development and I happily give: Latest donations received: For bandwidth saving reasons, some of our binary packages are hosted by our partner FOSSHUB.    G'MIC plug-in for GIMP for GIMP 2.10 : Windows: installer or .zip archive Linux: .zip archives available for Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan, Ubuntu 19.04 Disco, Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic, or Debian 10 Buster. Mac OSX : .tgz archive Important installation instructions for G'MIC on MacOSX! Many people reported difficulties with the installation of the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP on MacOSX. Apparently, it's not that easy ! Please read the instructions displayed on this page to make it easier for you: for GIMP 2.8 : Windows: installer or .zip archive Important installation instructions for GIMP 2.8 on Windows! The Windows version of the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP 2.8 comes with a bunch of .DLL files that may be incompatible with those provided with your installation of GIMP. To avoid possible DLL conflicts, our installer thus copies all his files into a new subfolder, located in your user's plug-in directory, You have then to explicitly add this subfolder as a recognized plug-in folder in the GIMP preferences to make sure GIMP can detect and run the plug-in. Please follow the steps described in this tutorial video if you're not sure about the way to do this properly.

Other means

• PPA for Ubuntu: On Ubuntu (Linux), there is a frequently updated PPA (Personal Package Archives), maintained by Thorsten "otto" Stettin which may be used to ease the installation of G'MIC, and to get quick updates as well.
  To enable Thorsten's PPA, type the following commands in a terminal:
  
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install gmic gimp-gmic
  
  
• Packages for Fedora: should be available here.
• Packages for Gentoo: should be available here.

From source

The source code of G'MIC is shared between several git repositories with public access. Accessing it via git ensures you get the latest code available, and will ease the source updates as well. Here are the instructions to compile G'MIC on a fresh installation of Debian (or Ubuntu). It should not be much harder for other distros. First you need to install all the required tools and libraries:

          $ sudo apt-get install git build-essential libgimp2.0-dev libcv-dev libopencv-dev \
          libhighgui-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libfftw3-dev qt5-default qtbase5-dev
        

Then, get the G'MIC source from the different repositories:

          $ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/dtschump/gmic.git
          $ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt.git
          $ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/c-koi/zart.git
        

You are now ready to compile all G'MIC interfaces: gmic (command-line tool), gmic_gimp_qt (plug-in for GIMP), gmic_krita_qt (plug-in for Krita), ZArt and libgmic (G'MIC C++ library). Just pick your choice:

          $ cd gmic/src
          $ make cli         # Compile command-line interface
          $ make gimp        # Compile plug-in for GIMP
          $ make krita       # Compile plug-in for Krita
          $ make lib         # Compile G'MIC library files
          $ make zart        # Compile ZArt
          $ make all         # Compile all of the G'MIC interfaces
        

and go out for a long drink (the compilation takes time).

Note that compiling issues (compiler segfault) may happen with older versions of g++ (4.8.1 and 4.8.2). If you encounter this kind of errors, you probably have to disable the support of OpenMP in G'MIC to make it work, by compiling it with:

          $ make OPENMP_CFLAGS="" OPENMP_LIBS=""
        

Also, please remember that the source code in the git repository is constantly under development and may be a bit unstable, so do not hesitate to report bugs if you encounter any.
