Krita (Digital Painting) 2.8 / 2.9

[Valtam]

The Kubuntu backports won't work, that page states that it's for 14.10, LL is based on 14.04 so you need to use the 'Krita Lime PPA' instead.

Go into Menu, System, Install/Remove Software. Search for everything krita and remove it. Then on the menu, Settings, Repositories, on the Other Software tab delete the backports ppa and follow the onscreen instructions. Close Install/Remove Software. Now add the Krita Lime PPA in the terminal with:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dimula73/krita

then do:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install krita-2.9

Then follow the rest of that tutorials instructions. Getting 'the latest' of something can be risky, it's best practice to stay with what is recommended unless of course you need something specifically from the new version.
