The one-click solution for independent creatives on AlmaLinux. Install Blender, DaVinci Resolve, GIMP, Krita and 40+ more apps without an IT team. Just your vision, powered by community expertise.
v2.0.1 is the current stable release, installable via COPR. v2.0.2 is a pre-release that expands the catalog with new creative applications: Gaffer, Natron, FogPanther, PopcornFX Editor, InstaMaterial, and the JangaFX Elemental Suite. The pre-release is available only as a manual RPM download from GitHub Releases, not yet on COPR.
We bridge the gap between enterprise Linux stability and the ease-of-use you need as a professional artist.
No more terminal commands. No manual dependency hunting. Get your studio up and running entirely through a clean, visual interface.
Automatically handles DNF, Flatpak, RPM, and vendor installers. We've done the work to find the best way to install each specific creative app.
Secure by design. The GUI runs unprivileged, using Polkit-protected helpers for system changes — the same way official system tools work.
Enables EPEL, CRB, RPM Fusion, Flathub, and NVIDIA drivers in one click — your system, perfectly tuned for M&E production.
Curated and supported by the community and the AlmaLinux M&E SIG. The tools you use, ready for production.
Two ways to install. COPR is the recommended one: two commands that work on both AlmaLinux 9 and 10, and it updates automatically with the rest of your system via sudo dnf upgrade. Only use Manual RPM if you can't enable COPR; it's a one-time download with no automatic updates.
# 1. Enable the COPR repository (auto-detects AlmaLinux 9 or 10) $ sudo dnf copr enable tristantheroux/AlmaLinux-Creative-Installer # 2. Install the application $ sudo dnf install almalinux-creative-installer
# 1. Download the RPM from GitHub Releases # 2. Install with DNF (it handles the rest) $ sudo dnf install \ ./almalinux-creative-installer-2.0.1-1.el9.noarch.rpm # 3. Launch and start creating! $ almalinux-creative-installer
sudo dnf upgrade.
Pick the case that matches how you installed. The AlmaLinux version makes no difference here.
# 1. Remove the application $ sudo dnf remove almalinux-creative-installer # 2. Remove the COPR repository $ sudo dnf copr remove tristantheroux/AlmaLinux-Creative-Installer
# No COPR repository to disable, so just remove the application $ sudo dnf remove almalinux-creative-installer
