Once installed you need to download BIMP, the Batch Image Manipulation Plugin, and install it (see Wikibooks GIMP/Installing Plugins for the details). Installing GIMP is fast and painless so I won’t belabor it here. GIMP, a free, open source image editor, that’s available for Windows, OS X, Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva, BSD, and Solaris and one of its neat features is an automation plugin called BIMP (though you can also automate GIMP with Python which, like GIMP’s batch mode, is not for beginners). Then I remembered GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program. Another constraint (other than my reluctance to wrangle Photoshop) was the need to be able to do this in the future as part of a process to be built into a virtual machine running Linux. I know you can automate Photoshop but that’s like getting into a Sherman tank to go shopping at your local supermarket.

You will need to perform that copy command manually with the destination directory properly wrapped in quotes.
If your plug-in directory contains a space in its name (as would happen if it is in the Application Support folder), then there will be a copy command which failed listed. Look at the output for the install command.Follow the build and install instructions for Linux.Install GIMP with MacPorts: sudo port install gimp +quartz (You can leave off the +quartz if you prefer GIMP to run in the X11 environment instead of natively.).
There is a vast array of 3rd party plugins that can extend the functionality.
