install gimp with homebrew?

Question

I worked with gimp a while back when users had to install x11. I want to install it again for a project requiring image editing. I see there are a lot of enhancements to the installation process. It seems installing x11 is not required anymore. I am so used to brew everything. Is there a way to install gimp with homebrew?

Answer 1

Install Gimp

brew install gimp

This will install Gimp via Homebrew Cask automatically.

2020 edit: "brew cask install" is no longer necessary; brew will automatically tap casks when appropriate.

Answer 2

I tried to install using @pat's answer. It did not work. The solution provided by @Gianfranco is the only one that did work:

brew tap caskroom/cask
brew install Caskroom/cask/gimp 

The result is:

brew tap caskroom/cask

==> Tapping caskroom/cask
