The source code of G'MIC is shared between several github repositories with public access. The code from these repositories are intended to be work-in-progress though, so we don't recommend using them to access the source code, if you just want to compile the various interfaces of the G'MIC project. Its is recommended to get the source code from the latest .tar.gz archive instead.

Here are the instructions to compile G'MIC on a fresh installation of Debian (or Ubuntu). It should not be much harder for other distros. First you need to install all the required tools and libraries:

Then, get the G'MIC source :

You are now ready to compile the G'MIC interfaces:

• gmic (command-line tool),
• gmic_gimp_qt (plug-in for GIMP),
• ZArt and
• libgmic (G'MIC C++ library).

Just pick your choice:

and go out for a long drink (the compilation takes time).

Note that compiling issues (compiler segfault) may happen with older versions of g++ (4.8.1 and 4.8.2). If you encounter this kind of errors, you probably have to disable the support of OpenMP in G'MIC to make it work, by compiling it with:

Also, please remember that the source code in the git repository is constantly under development and may be a bit unstable, so do not hesitate to report bugs if you encounter any.

The software prevents you from making impossible turns or using incompatible connectors.

Generate BOMs (Bill of Materials) directly from the activity state.

Always couple NIPActivity optimizations with CATIA’s built-in Cache System ( Tools > Options > Infrastructure > Product Structure > Cache Management ). This ensures geometry is pulled from local .cgr files rather than heavy native files.

The fastest way to improve CATIA is through automation. Instead of manually clicking through five levels of trees to change a parameter, users should leverage: nipactivity catia better

NIPActivity is an internal system variable and behavioral setting linked to the architecture of CATIA. It dictates how product structures, instance geometries, and assembly links are evaluated and loaded into the active session memory.

Most users sleep on Non-Interactive Process (NIP) activities. They think real-time modeling is the only way. But here's the truth:

Design tasks should reflect real-world scenarios and be consistent across participants: This ensures geometry is pulled from local

One of the strongest arguments for why a modern, high-activity framework can be better than traditional CATIA is hardware efficiency.

NIPActivity is a vital lever for CAD administrators aiming to eliminate hardware latency. By leveraging modern infrastructure processing over legacy methods, it directly solves the lag, crashes, and slow load times that plague complex engineering projects.

Repetitive manual tasks are the enemy of efficient NPI. If you are performing the same steps repeatedly (like setting up drawing sheets or standard components), you are doing it wrong. CATIA offers robust scripting capabilities via and Automation APIs that allow you to script away the monotony.

in assemblies to quickly "Save and Replace" components without affecting the original. Space Mouse:

Instead of 15 individual pockets and pads, encapsulate them into a single UDF. To the kernel, a UDF is a single atomic node. Selecting any of its internal faces triggers a localized NIP search rather than a global tree traversal.

In order to check if G'MIC works correctly on your system, you may want to execute the command and filter testing procedures. Assuming the CLI tool gmic is installed on your system, here is how to do it (on an Unix-flavored OS, adapt the instructions below for other OS):

These commands scan all G'MIC stdlib commands and G'MIC-Qt filters, and generate the images corresponding to the execution of these commands, with default parameters. Beware, this may take some time to complete!
