Can't Find where to install Local Help Manual - scastle - 12-12-2025
Im on a Mac and I just installed Gimp 3. And it states The GIMP user manual is not installed in your language."
"You may either install the additional help package or change your preferences to use the online version."
but the only English manual I see is a windows .exe installer, Where's an English Mac version?
Thanks
Steve

What gimp.org / OSX download says is
Quote:GIMP's user manual can be dowloaded separately on the documentation website either as language-specific Windows installers or as source tarball.
So, they do expect individuals to compile it themselves, if it is not provided by the distribution. For example this is linux Debian13 where (1) is the package(s) for installation and (2) the help files in html format.

Since I use Gimp 3 from a different source, I do not have installed help either. You can ask the gimp developers to provide a MacOS specific help dmg but do not expect much.
