GIMP 2.10 came out and I'm really excited to use it. The website suggests installing it with flatpak. According to flatpak's website, Linux Mint 18 and forward have it already installed, but as I'm using Linux Mint 17.1, I do not have it.
I tried following the Ubuntu installation requirements for flatpak, as well as some other forums, which suggest entering the following into the terminal:
apt add-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
apt update
apt install flatpak
After entering the last command, the terminal prints out:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package flatpak
Any ideas on how I can install flatpak or GIMP 2.10 without using flatpak?
software-installation gimp flatpak

If you look at the repository you mentioned, there is no longer support for trusty, which is the base of your Linux Mint 17. That is the reason it can't find your flatpak package.
If you were experienced a bit, I would suggest you to go ahead and upgrade to Linux Mint 18. Sadly, I suppose that is not your case.
Look at the other answer if it helps you.

snapd is available from the official Linux Mint 17.1 repositories. GIMP 2.10 can be installed by installing the gimp snap package. Open the terminal and type:
sudo apt install snapd -y
sudo snap install gimp
The sudo snap install gimp command installs GIMP 2.10 from the stable channel. The installed GIMP snap package will update automatically when updates become available.

Cool, thanks! The terminal said I needed to restart my computer. After restarting, GIMP shows up in the Menu, but when I click it, it doesn't start. when typing in "gimp" in the terminal, I get this: cannot perform readlinkat() on the mount namespace file descriptor of the init process: Permission denied

This error may have been caused by this bug: Bug #1656121 unexpected errno=13 and disconnected path when try ...unexpected errno=13 and disconnected path when trying to open /proc/1/ns/mnt from a unshared mount namespace which was fixed in linux kernel - 4.4.0-75.96. If this is correct the problem could be fixed by installing a later kernel version in Linux Mint 17.1, specifically linux-generic-lts-xenial which is version 4.4.0.124.104.

It seems like too much work just to fix a permission denied bug in one snap package, so I do not recommend trying this in Linux Mint 17.1. This may also be the explanation for a similar bug that I experienced in a different snap package that mysteriously went away by itself a few months later.

Okay, thanks! I just found a GIMP 2.10 app image that I can use if necessary. Thanks!
