How To Install Pinta on Fedora 37

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Pinta on Fedora 37. For those of you who didn’t know, Pinta is a free, open-source program for drawing and image editing. It is more straightforward and has less functionality than the open-source image editor GIMP. Pinta supports cross-platform and works on Windows, macOS, BSD, and Linux.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Pinta image editor on a Fedora 37.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 37.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.

Install Pinta on Fedora 37

Step 1. Before proceeding, update your Fedora operating system to make sure all existing packages are up to date. Use this command to update the server packages:

sudo dnf upgrade
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core

Step 2. Installing Pinta on Fedora 37.

• Install Pinta using the Fedora Default Repository.

By default, the Pinta package comes in the default repository of Fedora 37. Now run the following command below to install the latest version of Pinta to your Fedora system:

sudo dnf install pinta

• Install Pinta using Flatpak/Flathub.

First, install Flatpak on your Fedora system use the command below:

sudo dnf install flatpak
reboot

Next, we add a repository so that it could fetch the packages from Flathub to install on the Fedora system you are using. For that use the command, given below:

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Finally, install Pinta using the following command below:

flatpak install flathub com.github.PintaProject.Pinta

Step 3. Accessing Pinta on Fedora 37.

Once the Pinta installation is complete, you can start Pinta by typing Pinta in the terminal or going to Activities -> search for Pinta.

Flatpak users can use the following command to launch from the terminal:

flatpak run com.github.PintaProject.Pinta
