Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Krita is an image manipulation software, allowing the user to either create pictures from scratch or edit existing images. It is good because it supports most graphics tablets very well. The latest version available is Krita 2.7.1.
In this article I will show you how to install Krita 2.7.1 on Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Linux Mint 16 Petra, Linux Mint 15 Olivia, Linux Mint 14 Nadia and Linux Mint 13 Maya.
Because Krita 2.7.1 is available in the default repositories of Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander (and Linux Mint 16 Petra), installing it is easy. Just do:
