Dear Gimp Users

How can I add gimp Python-FU to my gimp.
I add a photo.
You can see in the photo that I only have Script-FU


Thanks
Doron.

And my Gimp has no Script-Fu...

That looks like a brand new Mint21 installation. Good Choice

The most recent Linux distros use python3 and Gimp uses a python2 package.

To cut a long story short, use Tas_mania appimage launcher from here:

https://github.com/TasMania17/Gimp-Appi ... s/releases

Download the second one gimp-python2-overlay-launcher-ubuntu22.04.AppImage

Put it in its own folder for convenience and run it:

I am using a Debian VM on a chromebook and I have tried both versions of the appimage. Both versions launch Gimp but neither give me python-fu. I have python 2 installed.

[Tas_mania]

Hi Erisian, you don't need python2 installed because it's considered obsolete and the appimage contains it. For Debian use the 'fuse-overlay' appimage.
Never tried the appimage in a VM.
If any problems post your Debian version also. Also the Gimp flatpack version has python2.

Hi Erisian

Only theoretically (this is what i have in Ubuntu):
Since you have python2 installed check if Gimp can find it:

\usr\lib\gimp\2.0\interpreters\pygimp.interp

Code:

python=/bin/python2
python2=/bin/python2
/usr/bin/python=/bin/python2
:Python:E::py::python2:

usr\lib\gimp\2.0\environ\pygimp.env

Code:

: PYTHONPATH=${gimp_plug_in_dir}/python

and required files:
usr\lib\gimp\2.0\python\
_gimpenums.la
_gimpenums.so
_gimpui.la
_gimpui.so
gimp.la
gimp.so
gimpcolor.la

Flatpack is out of the question, it takes up far too much space on a Chromebook. Is there a particular folder I have to put the appimage in? Could the Python 2 that I installed be interfering?

I don't have any of the pygimp files. The two folders contain only default.interp and default.env and I do not have a python folder.

FlatPak and AppImage ought to take roughly the same space. The idea is the same in both; come with all the dependencies so you don't care much about what is installed in the OS. Otherwise you can also install Pythinv2 (still on the repos) and retrofit an old gimp-python DEB in your recent Ubuntu/Debian.

The flatpack packages and whatever else flatpack installs take up far more space than the appimage. Quite a large GB foundation! I absolutely had to remove them! I have tried the gimp-python DEB packages and they tell me that I need some dependencies that are uninstallable.

These appimages are just 'launchers' that add python2. The non-Ubuntu one needs 'sudo apt install fuse-overlayfs'.

Cheers.

THAT WORKED! Thank you Tas!

Is there anything like this for windows 10 32 bit?

[Erisian]

It is showing Python fu and the console in the menu but my python plugins are still not showing.

EDIT: Never mind, I just had to make them executable and now they are showing.

[Tas_mania]

Glad it worked Erisian. There is also MathMap in that appimage. It's at Filters > Generic > MathMap > MathMap. It needs gcc which may or may not be in your Debian (sudo apt install gcc)

Nice! I installed gcc and now I have it.

If you feel a headache coming, pretend you haven't read anything.

...on PClinuxOS you don't have to use the terminal to update the system... it breaks down.

That is usually user error. I used PClinuxOS for several years and since a rolling distro the rule was

Update Everything or Update Nothing. The sure-fire way to break PCLOS is choose parts to update.
