Downloads
You can download our latest builds from our GitHub releases page. The releases page also contains an archive of all historical releases.
The MyPaint team only makes builds for a limited number of platforms due to time and resource constraints. Many third parties release builds for other systems.
The latest stable release is version 1.2 which was released on Jan. 15, 2016.
We no longer provide support for version 1.1 or earlier versions. If you are using those versions, we will ask you to try one of the more recent builds if you ask for support on our issue tracker.
Linux
The latest stable version of MyPaint is available on most distributions as third-party builds. Use your normal package manager to install the program. We will try to support these builds if they are recent.
Appimages
We have two versions of our Appimages.
Rolling Release: This where we store our Rolling Releases which build directly from Master. Beware may be unstable.
Standard Release: This where you can get any stable and Alpha/Beta Builds we tag and release. The Alpha/Beta may be unstable, but for the most part will work compared to our Rolling Releases.
Flatpak:
MyPaint is now also availble as Flatpak and should be installable on all major Linux distributions that support it like Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, elementaryOS, Arch, openSuSE, and many more.
Click to install is not yet availble in all distributions. If you are lucky it will open your Software application. Otherwise you can use the command line:
flatpak install --from https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.mypaint.MyPaint.flatpakref
After installing the Flatpak, the applications should show up in your system, but because Flatpak is very new, you may need to log out and log in again to see the launcher in your desktop. You can also launch it from the commandline:
flatpak run org.mypaint.MyPaint
Mac OS X
The latest stable and development builds of MyPaint are available via MacPorts. Please contact us in the issue tracker if you want to do something for other distribution channels.
Windows
We have stable builds and prerelease builds available on our GitHub releases page for both Win32 and Win64.
Rolling Release
We also have continuous builds available which are updated everytime a new change is made in our Github Repository.
->Latest Windows Alpha Builds from Appveyor.<-
Just select whether build(i686/MINGW32=32bit build or x86_64/MINGW64=64bit build) you are using and navigate to the Artifacts tab to download the exe file. Be aware, the “latest build” can likely be a very very beta “Pull Request” with some random feature. Make sure it doesn’t say “Pull Request”. If it does, click on “build history” and select one that does NOT say “Pull Request” on it.
Chocolatey
If you prefer to use the Chocolatey repository, both stable releases and pre-releases can be found there. This is maintained by a third party so be warned.
Apart from the two mentioned above, we do not officially support any other Windows builds or installers.
Source
MyPaint is actively developed and hosted on GitHub and the build is automatically tested on Travis-CI for Linux and AppVeyor for Windows every time a commit is made on Repsitory.
If you want the absolute very latest development version, or are interested in helping MyPaint evolve,see the README.md file in the source to get started.
We are always open for more people willing to maintain buildsfor Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux distributions.If you want to help us port MyPaint to your OS or Linux Distribution,please visit our community forums under the Porting MyPaint Category, and ask away there.You can also ask questions there if you are having trouble building MyPaint.
Brush Packages
We host a list of brushpacks available for download via MyPaint’s Brush Packages wiki page. You are welcome to post links to your own brushpacks on our Wiki. Files are typically not hosted on the wiki, just linked, so you can use any license you want. However the preview thumbnails should be public domain. If you release brushpacks which meet our Licensing Policy, they could be considered for inclusion in the next release.
