GroIMP is written in Java. Thus, it should follow Java’s WORA-principle (Write Once, Run Anywhere) and should run on every Java-capable platform. GroIMP has been tested successfully on Unix and Windows platforms.

GroIMP 2.1.3 requires the installation of a Java runtime environment of version 17. Which can be obtained from Oracle at [[https://www.oracle.com/|www.oracle.com]].

For a reasonably performant runtime behaviour, at least 256 MB RAM and a 1 GHz processor are recommended.

2.1. Download

The binary distribution of GroIMP is available on the [[https://gitlab.com/grogra/groimp/-/releases|gitlab release section]] as a zip-file, windows exe, or debian release.
