Fedora 35 : New Krita version 5.0.0 released.

Today I tested the new released version 5.0.0 for Krita software.

I download the AppImage from the official website.

After download you need to use these commands:

[mythcat@fedora ~]$ chmod +x krita-5.0.0-x86_64.appimage
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ ./krita-5.0.0-x86_64.appimage

Old schema: "0.0.10" New schema: 0.0.15

The Krita software runs well on the old HP Compaq 6710b, but I recommend better hardware because it is a software for graphic activities.

Don't worry about the message is a database change warning message.

Fedora 34 : Krita Plus 5.0.

Today I tested Krita Plus 5.0 on Fedora distro Linux version 34, see the download webpage.

Today I will show you how to use the last version of Krita with Fedora 30 distro. First, download the app image application Krita from the official website. The AppImage is a format for distributing portable software on Linux without needing superuser permissions to install the application. In the folder where is the download you need to set it executable:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ chmod +x krita-4.2.5-x86_64.appimage

Fedora 29 : The AppImage tool and Krita Next.

The AppImage is a universal software package format.
The process of packaging the software in AppImage is a storage file provide by the developer.
This file is a compressed image with all the dependencies and libraries needed to run the desired software. The AppImage doesn’t really install the software just execute it without no extraction and no installation.
The most common features:

• Can run on various different Linux distributions;
• No need of installing and compiling software;
• No need of root permission and the system files are not touched;
• Can be run anywhere including live disks;
• Applications are in read only mode;
• Software are removed just by just deleting the AppImage file;
• Applications packaged in AppImage are not sandboxed by default.

More about this can be read at official webpage.
I tested the Krita Next with this tool.
The appimage file of Krita Next can be found here.
About the Krita Next this is a daily builds that contain new features, but could be unstable.
After I download the file I change it to executable with:

[mythcat@desk Downloads]$ chmod +x krita-4.2.0-pre-alpha-95773b5-x86_64.appimage 
[mythcat@desk Downloads]$ ./krita-4.2.0-pre-alpha-95773b5-x86_64.appimage
