Tux Paint for macOS comes as three disk image (.dmg) files. One contains main program (Tux Paint), another contains the configuration program (Tux Paint Config.) for parents and teachers; copy both of them to your hard drive's Applications folder. The third contains an application that installs the optional 'stamps' collection.

Compatibility note: This release of Tux Paint is for Macs running: OS X Yosemite (10.10) & El Capitan (10.11), & macOS Sierra (10.12), High Sierra (10.13), Mojave (10.14), Catalina (10.15), Big Sur (11), Monterey (12), & Ventura (13). Tux Paint, Tux Paint Config., and Tux Paint Stamps for macOS are available as universal builds, which can run on Macs containing either Intel (x86_64) or Apple Silicon (M1 & M2) CPUs.

Recent versions of macOS have default security settings that prevent programs which were downloaded outside of Apple's "App Store" from being launched. Apple provides instructions here for installing and launching apps from "unidentified developers."
