How Do I Get the Latest Gimp Version Available?

I understand that there is a new version of the GIMP available, although it appears that the only way of doing this is by compiling from source :P

Is there another way of getting it, or if I have to compile can I do that through the terminal or better still; a GUI?

You can do this through the Terminal:

  1. Uninstall GIMP

    sudo apt-get autoremove gimp gimp-plugin-registry

  2. Add the following PPA

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update

  3. Reinstall the latest GIMP

    sudo apt-get install gimp
