Trouble installing Gimp on raspberry pi 3

[THEITCROWDNERDMOSS]

Hello!
There is probably a very simple explanation to this but I only got the pi in September and i'm still getting used to it. I have been trying to download gimp using the command "sudo apt-get install gimp" but I get this output;

I tried the suggestions of apt-get update and --fix-missing but I may be inputing them wrong

I tried both suggestions at the bottom of the output, however i may have typed them wrong. I also looked on the internet to look for alternative inputs but i cant find anything that works. It'd be great if someone could help me out, thank you in advance,

I just installed it on my RPi 3B and it went ok. Running Gimp after installation yielded a large number of warnings but it loaded up ok. I did not try to do any thing with it. From the errors you posted, you may have encountered a temporary repo problem...they do happen once in a while...and you should try it again in a day or so. That said, I think you will find the RPi underpowered for using Gimp...it can be pretty slow even on a multi-core x86. The RPi's limited memory will have it thrashing to swap on all but the smallest pics.
I do see some differences in my installation messages...for starters, I downloaded 24 megabytes and used 102 Mbytes additional space. I did not look further.

Gimp is even slow on a decent machine because it has become so bloated. It will be hard to run with such little available RAM.

Is your network connected?

Wait until you've installed dozens of plugins and the GAP plugin, GIMP will take close to 2 minutes just to start, and thats on a mid range desktop!

Did the OP done "sudo apt update" before the "sudo apt install" ?

I had no trouble installing it a week or so ago. It might have been that some of the repositories were temporarily offline and you just need to try again later. Try and do a full system update first by entering (in a terminal).

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

If that goes okay (it will take awhile if you haven't done it recently), then try to install gimp again.
