Id gone to GIMP s website to download both the 2.8 and 2.10 pre-compiled dmg files to install GIMP.

Id read up a bit beforehand; the articles Id found indicated that some useful Script-fu scripts came with the 2.8 version but had disappeared in the 2.10 upgrade.

On top of that, Id discovered that the well-known script library, registry.gimp.org, had shut down.

This registry had been the location for many of the GIMP special effect scripts.

But I had read that if I installed 2.8 and then 2.10 I could copy the scripts from the 2.8 version into the 2.10 scripts folder.

No guarantees that the scripts work would but still in desperation I was more than willing to try.

Ive run across others observations of similar issues in installing GIMP on Mac OS High Sierra.

In particular, running most scripts left Script-fu frozen or hung.

I also noticed that trying to use my wireless mouse in GIMP textbox windows wasnt working.

The focus within the window would respond only to the keyboard commands.

My to my chagrin, it looked like the GIMP pre-compiled dmg just wasnt going to work on High Sierra.

I had a copy of CrossOver for Mac and loaded the windows version of GIMP on that which Ill cover in a separate article.

While this thread is a bit unrelated, but I had loaded MacPorts so I could install Xcode, XQuartz for use with Inkscape.

It is available if you search under available ports however when installing I still ran into a compile error Module build error indicating that babl or gegl were missingunavailable.

What a relief It too installs many useful programs and utilities that Apple in its infinite wisdom decided to skip.

Although Id love to give a step by step guide Im just grateful that Homebrew worked.
