Can anyone suggest the best place to download MyPaint for Windows 7 (32-bit)?

I'm interested in knowing if there is a particular person or build of the program that is most recommended.

sourceforge does not look ok for you, Molly?
Looking for the latest version? Download mypaint-1.0.0-win32-installer.exe (9.0 MB)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mypaint.mirror/files/?source=navbar

Thanks Dinasset, I already have the one I get from the Linux distro. It is not for me, I have Linux. Which one do you recommend in sourceforge? I think I would pick the top one.

It depends on your distro. Name it and I should be able to point you to the package.

Molly, I wrote it in the second line
mypaint-1.0.0-win32-installer.exe (9.0 MB)

sorry Dinasset, I just opened the link and missed that. I will tell my friend to get at it. I haven't seen or heard of a bad copy yet of MyPaint

On Linux, MyPaint is always best to get directly through GIT and compile yourself (it's literally just one command to compile). Probably trickier on Windows though since that OS doesn't come with any sane development tools out of the box. I don't see a reason you'd not go for the package from the homepage though? http://mypaint.intilinux.com/?page_id=6

Thanks Griatch, I have passed that on.

Griatch,
why for a windows user (the request of Molly was for a friend running Windows 7 32 bits) you don't rely on the .exe package already created for windows available at sourceforge? the .exe package should only be run with just one click on windows...and installation is done.
is this only for mypaint?

I assumed the mypaint homepage had the latest Windows version, but it seems I mis-read the version, it's 1.0.0 there, not 1.1.0 like on the sourceforge page. Alright then, assuming the upload is legit on sourceforge (I would presume it is, but I don't know), go for it.

a little bit "off topic", but -if someone likes to work in gimp with brushes for painting- here are the brushes provided by R.Miranda in GPS

Thank you dinasset, I didn't know you could use mypaint brushes in Gimp.

Molly,
they aren't MyPaint but GPS brushes "for painting in Gimp"
Hope you find something useful in there

Thanks, I just asked this question because Raymond Miranda has created a lot of brushes in MyPaint. I use a lot of his.
