Linux
Ubuntu Software Center
One of the easiest ways to install almost any application in an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Edubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.) is to use the Ubuntu Software Center. Pinta 1.0 is available in the Ubuntu Universe PPA. So if you already have this in your repository list simply load Ubuntu Software Center
Although we are currently working on our own PPA so we can deliver the most up-to-date stable and development versions to you, there are others who have included Pinta on their own PPA's.
A small list of those PPA's are available below.
To include a PPA on your system, simply copy one line at a time of one, or all, of the PPA's below and paste them in a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:moonlight-team/pinta/ubuntu
Ubuntu Natty
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/natty
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8/
Once you have installed one, or all, of the above PPA's, then you must update you system with their package lists. Run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Installing Pinta via the Ubuntu Software Center
Once you have the PPA's setup and your system updated with their package list, now we can install Pinta via the Ubuntu Software Center:
- Launch the Ubuntu Software Center
- Search for "pinta"
- Click the 'Install' button to install Pinta.
- Once it is installed you can now use Pinta. Navigate to: Menu > Graphics > Pinta (This is the default location in most menu systems. Your results may vary.)
