# How to install the latest GIMP 2.99 (the 3.0 development version) via PPA.

### There are a lot of cool features in this developmental version.

**Warning**. . . this will most like be buggy. and lack features found in 2.10. Every time we install GIMP 2.99 it has issues, and we end up reverting back to 2.10.xx.

### TO INSTALL GIMP 2.99

```

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mati75/gimp30

sudo apt update

sudo apt install gimp gegl mypaint-brushes

```

### TO REMOVE 2.99 AND REVERT BACK TO 2.10. STABLE TO THIS:

```

sudo apt purge gimp*

sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:mati75/gimp30

sudo apt update

sudo apt install gimp

```

### TO SWITCH BETWEEN OLDER AND NEWER VERSIONS w/OUT REMOVING 2.99 REPO:

1. Get list of available **gimp** & **gimp-data** packages

`sudo apt policy gimp gimp-data`

2. Install matching version numbers at same time by using = sign, & desired version after package name.

**For example:**

`sudo apt install gimp=2.10.30-1build1 gimp-data=2.10.30-1build1`
