Usually you start GIMP either by clicking GIMP's icon on your desktop (if available), selecting it from a menu, or by typing gimp on a command line. If you have multiple versions of GIMP installed, you may need to add the exact version number: gimp-3.0.
You can, if you want, provide a list of image file names on the command line after the program name so that GIMP automatically opens those files after it starts. It is also possible to open files from within GIMP once it is running using the Open Image Dialog.
Most operating systems support file associations, which associates a class of files (as determined by their filename extension, such as .jpg) with a corresponding application (such as GIMP). When image files are properly „associated” with GIMP, you can double click an image in your file browser to open it in GIMP.
If you installed the Flatpak version of GIMP from flathub.org, you start GIMP either by clicking an icon, or by typing flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP//stable on a command line.
GIMP automatically detects and uses the system language. In the unlikely event that language detection fails, or if you want to use a different language, the easiest way is to change the language used in the Interface Preferences: → , then go to the Interface section; Language can be set at the top.
If you prefer to change language by setting environment variables, you can use:
            In LINUX: in console mode,
            type LANGUAGE=en gimp or
            LANG=en gimp
            replacing en with fr, de, etc. according to the language you
            want. Background: Using LANGUAGE=en
            sets an environment variable for the executed
            program gimp.
          
→ → → button in „System Variables” area: button: Enter LANG for Name and fr, de, etc. for Value. Watch out! You have to click three successive times to validate your choice.
If you change languages often, you can create a batch file to change the language. Open NotePad. Type the following commands (for French for instance):
                    
                      set lang=fr
                    
                  
start gimp-3.0.exe
            Save this file as GIMP-FR.BAT (or another
            name, but always with a
            .BAT extension). Create
            a shortcut and drag it to your desktop.
          
From System Settings, click General in the sidebar. Then select Language & Region. The desired language should be the first in the list.
            You can use command line parameter -n to run
            multiple instances of GIMP. For example,
            gimp-3.0 starts GIMP in the
            default system language, and
            LANGUAGE=en gimp-3.0 -n starts
            another instance of GIMP in English. This can be
            very useful for translators.
          
      Although command line arguments are not required when starting
      GIMP, they can be useful in certain situations.
      On a Unix system, you can use
      man gimp for a complete list.
    
These arguments must be added to the command line that you use to start GIMP as gimp-3.0 [OPTION...] [FILE|URI...], where „OPTION...” can be one or more of the arguments listed below, followed by one or more file names.

            Use a different sessionrc file for this
            GIMP session.
            The given session name is appended to the default

            Use an alternative gimprc file instead of the
            default one. The gimprc file contains a
            record of your preferences. Useful in cases where plug-in paths
            or machine specs may be different.

            Execute the set of commands non-interactively. The set of commands
            is typically in the form of a script that can be executed by one
            of the GIMP scripting interpreters.
            When the command is -, commands
            are read from standard input.

When first run, GIMP creates a configuration folder. All of the configuration information is stored in this folder. If you remove or rename the folder, GIMP repeats the initial configuration process and creates a new configuration folder.
The exact location of your configuration folder depends on your Operating System:
            $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
          
            Usually: $HOME/.config/GIMP/3.0/
          
            %APPDATA%\GIMP\3.0\
          
            Usually: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\
          
            NSApplicationSupportDirectory
          
            Usually: ~/Library/Application Support/GIMP/3.0/
          
Just a couple of suggestions before you start:
GIMP can provide tips you can read at any time using the menu command → . The tips provide information that is considered useful, but not easy to learn by experimenting; so they are worth reading. Please consider reading the tips when you have the time.
If at some point you are trying to do something, and GIMP seems to have suddenly stopped functioning, the Getting Unstuck section may be able to help you out.
Don't forget to check out the Preferences Dialog. GIMP is very customizable. There are a lot of settings that you can adjust to your personal preferences.
