How To Install Gimp Help

Seasons Greetings,
I downloaded gimp-2.6.7. No help manual in it, I then downloaded gimp-help-2.6.0-html-en.tar.bz2. I tried to open it no luck. It is a bz2 compressed file format. Visited the bz2 page it is all in computer speak, makes no sense to me at all. Please how do I install the help manual into Gimp? Thanks.

Does
tar xvjf gimp-help-2.6.0-html-en.tar.bz2 do anything for you?

What if this person is not a Linux user and not very fond of doing things on the command line ?
I guess that if he does not like computer speak he might have downloaded the wrong help package.

Peter, if you are running GIMP on Windows you could try installing a help package from this page:
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

Kind regards,

Fair enough. I'd assumed if he found and downloaded a linux package he has some basic knowledge of the command line; and having untarrred the file and seeing what was in it, people could give further help.

Sorry if that was not the case.
