In this tutorial, I will show you a fast and easy process on how to install BIMP or Batch Image Manipulation Plugin for the latest version of GIMP 2.10 on your macOS device using simple command action.
Briefly, GIMP considered as the best free Photoshop alternative, is a very neat, yet powerful image processing program, with loads of options, and plugins. But there's one thing it does not do well - and that's automated batch image manipulations. Basically, you can't really record a set of image processing actions and then repeat them when needed. Unless you got the BIMP plugin installed on your machine.
With BIMP you can apply a set of manipulations to an entire group of images! It provides an easy to use interface and a lot of image batch functions:
• Resize
• Crop
• Flip and rotate
• Blurring and sharpening
• Color (and curve) correction
• Watermark
• Rename
• Change compression and format
• ... and almost whatever you want!
Luckily, for Windows folks it’s an easy-peasy process, since they got a separate EXE installer. Unfortunately for Linux, and macOS users just like me, will need to compile plugin’s source code, because there are no official pre-ready installation packages.
If you know of a better solution, or if you face installation problems, drop me a question or a comment bellow by adding #AskDoudou, following your comment, I will get back to you as soon as possible.
-------------------------------------------
Shortcut to launch Search bar: Command (or Cmd) ⌘ + Space bar
***
To make sure you have the Xcode command line tools installed in your device:
xcode-select -p
***
Open Plugin Folder in Terminal: Type the following: cd ../path/to/your/folder
Just highlight the folder, and hit Copy and then move to Terminal and Paste it.
***
To install the plugin, Type following command on your terminal while inside the main plugin folder:
make && make install
make : builds the project artifacts
&&: ensures that the next step is executed only if previous one was successful.
make install : install project artifacts to their configured destinations.

[@samgood5800]

Did it work for you?

[@doudoufamily6967]

Sam Good yes it worked.

[@Askdoudou]

If u need assistance let me know. In comment

[@forzafilms6650]

Not working. I have Xcode. The folder you show in video has more files than the actual folder in Github. In terminal appear after make && make install: Command not found

[@Askdoudou]

I got the zip file From link in description GitHub. It should be the same. If you already have xcode installed and coreutils, you have to make sure that you add the Path to your batch profile, otherwise the command wont know what file to call.

#askdoudou Hi Doudou, when i copy and paste the gimp plugin to the terminal and select enter, I get 'no such file or directory'. I have xcode, and I have downloaded the plugin from github. Could you kindly advise?

[@Askdoudou]

Thanks for reaching me out! Ok have you unzipped the file ? Can you also write this command in your Terminal and tell me what you got ! cat ~/.bash_profile

Thanks a lot for your helping on this issue

[@Askdoudou]

Hello, so back to this Error, this actually means that the "gimptool-2.0" is not installed neither available in your device. This Package is required in order to compile and install the plugin. Hence, I would like you to take these steps to make this work: Open your Terminal and then type: 1- sudo apt install build-essential (if this is successful next one, otherwise, please tell me what OS version you have) 2- sudo apt install libgimp2.0-dev git ( this will install install gimp dev libs and git client) If you successfully installed those 2 packs, then proceed with the steps in video. Let me know, if this worked for you. I will be glad to share with others also.

I can't even install Xcode on my Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6, any ideas of how to do this?

[@Askdoudou]

You have to install Xcode 10 version manually. To do this, go to Apple developer website from this link: developer.apple.com/download/more/ You will require an Apple ID to access it. From Search bar on your left side, type Xcode 10 and you will see “Command Line Tools (macOS 10.13) for Xcode 10.1. Click to download the dmg file, and once done, double click on it for installation.

@@Askdoudou well, now I did that and got Xcode, then copy and pasted it from downloads to the terminal and this is what I get: Carolyns-MBP:gimp-plugin-bimp-2.4_32bit carolyn$

Ok, so now do the next once you are inside that (gimp-plugin-bimp-2.4_32bit) folder in your terminal type: make && make install ( hit enter) Let me know if you got an Error. Because you might need to do one Step before installation 🙂 But I will assist you. Cheers

#askdodo there is a error message, where is my problem? make: gimptool-2.0: Command not found which gimptool-2.0 && \ gcc -o ./bin/bimp -Wall -O2 -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-pointer-sign src/*.c src/manipulation-gui/*.c src/images/*.c -lm -DGIMP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED make: *** [make] Error 1

[@Askdoudou]

I guess this because the The program 'make' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: *sudo apt-get install make* Or you can also try : *sudo apt-get install build-essential*

[@pche85]

@@Askdoudou When i try the first thing sudo apt-get install make, it request me a password and then appear to me this: Cassios-MacBook-Air:~ cassio$ sudo apt-get install make Password: Sorry, try again.

[@Askdoudou]

You should provide and use your Mac admin Password, this is the same you use when you open you Mac session. Because this installation requires ADMIN/OWNER permission that is why a Password is a MUST.
