Adding Bimp to Linux Mint

[mrnjon]

I installed Bimp as per instructions found at https://github.com/alessandrofrancesconi/gimp-plugin-bimp
In particular, I ran "sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev libgegl-dev".
However my difficulty is that I have no idea where the BIMP resources were stored so I can't make use of the following instruction "Extract the archive containing the BIMP's sources and get into the extracted folder with cd.".
__
I have tried:
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:~$ cd /usr/include/gimp-2.0
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:/usr/include/gimp-2.0$ make && make install
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:/usr/include/gimp-2.0$
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:/usr/include/gimp-2.0$ make && make install
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:/usr/include/gimp-2.0$
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:/usr/include/gimp-2.0$ cd /usr/share/doc
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:/usr/share/doc$ make && make install
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:/usr/share/doc$ cd /usr/include/gimp-2.0/libgimp
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:/usr/include/gimp-2.0/libgimp$ make && make install
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:/usr/include/gimp-2.0/libgimp$ cd /usr/share/doc/libgimp2.0
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:/usr/share/doc/libgimp2.0$ make && make install
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
niall@niall-OptiPlex-7020:/usr/share/doc/libgimp2.0$
Can anyone tell me what I need to do here? (Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon) Thanks. N

Hi mrnjon.
The command:

sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev libgegl-dev

its to install "gimptool" ( the full set of libraries and dependences needed to compile BIMP)

Then you have to download the "Source code" from: (I think you missed this part)

https://github.com/alessandrofrancesconi/gimp-plugin-bimp/releases/tag/v2.6 (zip or tar.gz as you wish)

and continue the installation:

Extract the downloaded archive (zip or tar.gz) containing the BIMP's sources and get into the extracted folder with cd. Then:

make && make install

Or:

make && sudo make install-admin

to make and install for every user in the system (needs root privileges).
