Krita requires Windows 7 or newer.
Tablet Support: Wacom, Huion, Yiynova, Surface Pro.
We also have nightly builds available for testers. These are versions of Krita that are made daily. You can try out new features before we make official testing builds. They will potentially have bugs and crashes so be careful. Visit the nightly builds.
Linux distributions package the currently stable version of Krita when they release a new version. Some distributions provide backports repositories which offer the latest stable version of Krita.
See the Krita AppImages for Cats for a quick tutorial on using AppImages. The appimage does not at this point support sound for animations.
There is an overlay for Gentoo with the latest version of Krita, maintained by a volunteer in the Krita community: "layman -a bloody && emerge --sync && emerge krita"
There is also a new maintainer for the Krita Lime PPA for Ubuntu and derivatives: https://launchpad.net/~kritalime/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
We will add instructions for other distributions as and when the package maintainer tell us that the latest version is packaged. Contact boud@kde.org if you want instructions added to this list.
For Linux, we offer AppImages These should run on any newer Linux distribution. Be sure to make the appimage executable before launch.
Minimum version of OSX 10.9 required. We don't have an Apple developer account, so you will need make sure your security settings allow executing unsigned applications. Krita on OSX does not include the G'Mic plugin at this moment.
