## Download

[Latest stable release.](https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint/releases/latest)



Releases and prereleases contain links to standalone packages

(and installers for full releases) for Windows, and AppImage files for Linux.



### Nightly releases

_Using alpha releases comes with its own risks.

Sometimes bugs can sneak in that causes crashes, so don't be too surprised by that.

If you come across any, please do [report those bugs][trackerlink] so they can be dealt with._



#### Linux

If you don't want to [build from source](#buildtestinstall),

the latest AppImage files can be found in a

[rolling release](https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint-appimage/releases/tag/continuous).

Just download the `.AppImage` file and make it executable.



#### Windows

The nightly installers and standalone archives can be downloaded from the

[AppVeyor CI](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/achadwick/mypaint)



Click on the link matching your architecture (32 or 64), then the tab named "Artifacts"

to get the file list. Only one of the files ending in `.exe` or `.7z` are needed.

Using the standalone archive (7z) is recommended.



### Windows Package Manager (winget)

The latest stable release is available to install via winget, the Windows Package Manager. To search for the package, run:



```

winget search MyPaint

```



and to install, run:



```

winget install --id MyPaint.MyPaint

```



_The winget package is not maintained by the dev team._



### Chocolatey (windows)

If you prefer to use the Chocolatey repository, both

[stable releases][choco_prerel] and [pre-releases][choco_stable]

can be found there.



[choco_prerel]: https://chocolatey.org/packages/mypaint/

[choco_stable]: https://chocolatey.org/packages/mypaint/1.2.1



## Build/Test/Install

MyPaint depends on its brushstroke rendering library,

[libmypaint](https://github.com/mypaint/libmypaint), as well as

its brush library [mypaint-brushes](https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint-brushes).

If you have those installed, plus MyPaint's third party dependencies,

you can try it out without installing:



    git clone https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint.git

    cd mypaint

    python setup.py demo



If the demo works, you can install



    python setup.py managed_install

    python setup.py managed_uninstall



For more details, see the [Setup Instructions](BUILDING.md).
