Asked By CuriousCat42 On

I installed GIMP using Flatpak through the terminal, but I can't seem to locate it on my laptop. Even after trying to reinstall, I run into an issue. If it's supposed to be on my system, why can't I find it? And if it's somehow hidden, what's the best way to launch it? Here's what I did in the terminal:

~$ flatpak install org.gimp.GIMP//2.10
Looking for matches…
Found ref 'runtime/org.gimp.GIMP.Manual/x86_64/2.10' in remote 'flathub' (system).
Use this ref? [Y/n]: y
Skipping: org.gimp.GIMP.Manual/x86_64/2.10 is already installed

Another simple way is to just type `gimp` in the terminal and hit enter. That usually works to start the application.

Just as a tip, sometimes it's helpful to have a stable internet connection while installing Flatpak apps. And don’t forget to remove any boot media after installation. You can always check the installation tips online for more info!

If you’re still having trouble, I recommend installing it without specifying the version. Use `flatpak install flathub org.gimp.GIMP`. After that, start it again with `flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP`. If it works, create a shortcut that runs this command so you don't have to use the terminal every time.

You can try running GIMP directly by typing just `gimp` in the terminal, or this command: `flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP`. That should launch it if it's installed correctly.
