Trufle DIY, Knowledge base

Installation

The Krita application loads some of its resources only at startup, so the process of installing the Trufle DIY extension requires restarting the program several times. Below, we outline the steps to properly install the extension and begin working on your mosaic project.

Installation Steps

If you don’t have Krita installed yet, download it from the official website and follow the instructions for your operating system.
