Flatpak build available in: x86-64 and AArch64.

If available, the official package from your Unix-like distribution is the recommended method of installing GIMP!
Therefore choose your installation medium according to your needs.
If the link above doesn't open your software installer, install with following command:
flatpak install --user https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref
After installation, if GIMP is not shown as other applications (on menus, desktop overview, etc), run it with following command line:
flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP//stable
This installation will also provide regular auto update. Once again, if your distribution does not have proper support, you can always fall back to using the following command line:
flatpak update
GIMP can also run on Solaris and is available for the BSD family of systems such as FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
Please refer to the documentation for your Unix-like system on the installation of software.

Previous installers for macOS/OSX can be found on download.gimp.org.
Third party packages are not officially supported by the GIMP project. Therefore you should report issues to the packagers first, before reporting to the GIMP team. We only list some of these package systems here because they are widely used FLOSS projects, though we won't list projects providing very outdated versions.
An easy way to compile and install GIMP and other great Free software on your Mac is by using Macports. The installer allows you to choose from a large directory of packages. To install gimp using Macports, you simply do sudo port install gimp
once you have Macports installed.
Last we checked, the GIMP port file pointed to the current stable release and we have reports from people who've built GIMP successfully this way.
Homebrew is similar to Macports and provides packages (aka formulas) to install, either by compiling them from source or by using pre-made binaries. There are indications that there is now a formula for GIMP, installable with: brew tap homebrew/cask && brew install --cask gimp
.
NOTE! Please be aware that it was announced recently that Homebrew is using analytics.
To turn this off, run: brew analytics off
