The Mypaint main developper Andrew Chadwick maintains a ppa. This ppa provides fresh versions of Mypaint for Linux Mint 17.3 , Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ( and Ubuntu-testing 15.10 ) and Elementary Freya 0.3 users.
To install Mypaint via this ppa, copy the code lines one by one ( Ctrl + C in your browser ) and paste them one by one in a terminal windows ( Ctrl + Shift + V ) then press enter.

Grande nouvelle !
Merci pour cette info. :D
Hey David, thats good news, but I'm on fedora now :( theres no way I can install this using other commands rather than apt?
Merci pour l'info Deevad !!!
Thanks for sharing (:
Je cherchait un ppa a jour merci!!
(mise à jour doc Ubuntu-fr??)
Merci Deevad pour cette info, je vais tester ça (pour scratchpad, je pense que je comprendrai mieux en l'utilisant).
Tu es toujours sur la brèche question bleeding versions, et tu trouves encore le temps d'avoir une production graphique de qualité... Impressionnant.
Thanks for that! I installed mypaint with your old installation-guide. Can you please tell me how to get rid off that stuff? :-)
I know this isn't the place to ask probably - please kindly consider that I am artist that is completely not into all that technical stuff - linux with its many distributions, compilations - gives me shivers lol. Any ideas when new version of MyPaint will show up for Windows? I am DAILY checking their website but there is virtually no new information. I wish everybody would be that informative as Blender devs.. Appreciate answer.
Oh, cool you all likes this ppa as I like it :D
@Nezumi : Truely , I have no idea about Windows build ; I even don't know who is the volonteer who packed Mypaint for Windows the first times, and if he would continue it. I guess when a official Mypaint 1.0 will be released , the packagers will convert this version.
And don't be affraid about Linux terminal codes :) 3 lines to copy paste in a text console are easier for me than download a installer on internet, save it, open it , click next next next on the pop-up windows and figure out where the stuff get installed. This is just about way to do it. You should try ;)
@Andre´ : If you want to clean the version installed with my previous guide, just open a nautilus with admin rights ( gksudo nautilus ) , then go to the folder at the root folder of the system , then in , /usr/local ; in the subfolder 'bin' it should have a mypaint to delete as well as in 'lib' and 'share'. That's suffisent ;) be just sure to don't delete other folders or program :)
@Tepee : Merci Tepee :) Ca me prends beaucoup de temps toutes ces installations en plus de faire tourner mon activité freelance. Ca me fait plaisir de voir que c'est remarqué. Merci.
@nack972 : Cool :) Pour la doc d'ubuntu , à toi l'honneur ;) Sinon de passage je regarderais au wiki.
@ArtSymptom : On Fedora, I advice you to compile it from the source code ; I did it since the 3 last years, so it's not a huge deal to do. You can read how I do it in this article (yep, I know , another compiling stuff , good luck ! keep the force ! ) : http://www.davidrevoy.com/?article69/installation-of-2d-tools-i-use-on-linux">http://www.davidrevoy.com/?article69/installation-of-2d-tools-i-use-on-linux
@flem : Oui, très bonne et très simple pour les utilisateurs d'Ubuntu. J'aime beaucoup aussi suivre le développement de soft en ppa.
eu amei ! queria muito que tivesse versão windows : (
I loved it! felt very strongly that had windows version: (
Great news David! Thanks for this :)
This also helped me find the folders and remove a buggy install xD
Cheers. :)
How come you've got your panels docked on the sides?!?! I don't see such an option anywhere D: And I'm on the latest version, on Windows. Perhaps I should try the linux version.
@Milad
This is from the latest build so, afaik, it is not so much about platform but rather that in Linux is just easier to get it (ppa, easy way to pull git, etc...). I'm sure it can be had in windows, but one would need to compile it. And I know squat about that.
Thank you!

Welcome to my Blog guest
Great work! Much better in use.
This is great. I will try this ASAP/ Thank you Andrew.
does not work on Ubuntu 11.10
@Ashi : This version 'Ocelot' of Ubuntu is not released yet ; so still in beta testing , right ?
Logical if not yet in Ppa . To install a recent Mypaint on it ; I advice you for the moment to build it : http://www.davidrevoy.com/?article69/installation-of-2d-tools-i-use-on-linux">http://www.davidrevoy.com/?article69/installation-of-2d-tools-i-use-on-linux
Thanks.
David,
fyi ...I just posted on MyPaint 1.0 and gave a link back to you. The commands for Linux is very helpful. I really like the new features in MyPaint.
Keep up the good work;
Steve
@Steven Powers (SMP) : cool :) Good blog btw , I liked the video tutorial about perspective line with Gimp.
Thanks David. I personally learn more from watching how something is done and it looks like most people do as well, with all the video tutorials out there.
I glad to see a Windows build for MyPaint 1.0 available since I don't compile my own builds.
bonjour, est ce que ça veux dire que je ne pas besoin de supprimer mon ancienne version pour lancer la nouvelle (sur ubuntu) ?
J'y vais direct avec le code...
merci .
-je n'est pas besoin- sorry...
I just moved up from Mint 11 to 12, got its such a foresaken disaster O_o Good thing Mate exists, else I wouldn't know what to do.
You should also mention that the cleans up stuff itself even after an interruption of some sort (eg: shutdown). My laptop ran out of battery (Mate doesn't have power indicators, by default) and it was already an hour into the installation process; on the next start I didn't need to repair much myself, the script did everything for me ^_^
You can try new MyPaint online without installing at https://www.rollapp.com/app/mypaint (registration is required).
If there is no build for your system yet, this is a great option.
I got annoyed by the fact that there's no PPA with *stable* MyPaint for older distros like Ubuntu 12.04, so I made one: https://launchpad.net/~shnatsel/+archive/mypaint-backports
For the moment I've just built the 1.1 from Saucy for Precise and Quantal, mostly for my own use. Other people stuck on 12.04 may find it useful.
@Shnatsel : Hey Shnatsel, this is a very good news. I'm planning to centralise a page on my 'tutorial' with all useful ppa. I'll add your. I'll note it on my to-do , I hope I can make it next month. Thanks !
I really like to visit this site as it has different articles about graphics and art created everyday
Ho good new about Mypaint project! it is Alive !!
I'll test this.
FYI...There is also a Windows build for MyPaint 1.2 which I have been playing with for a couple of weeks. It is very light weight ir regards to resources and I haven't had any crashes at all. The features I very nice.
I am planning to install openSUSE Linux. Will Mypaint project work on that?
Thanks in advance
I cannot say ; I didn't tested. I guess it depends of the version of OpenSuse, the tablet hardware you have and what you want to install as a desktop environment. Good luck!
Attention, le lien originel de MyPaint cité dans l'article semble rediriger à présent vers un site trompeur (bloqué par uBlock origin et Firefox lui même)
Le nouveau lien semble être : http://mypaint.org
Merci! En effect. C'est mis à jour à présent.
Thanks! Wanted to know your opinion about open-source webinar software
