New to GIMP- user manual for Mac OSX
I downloaded and installed GIMP 2.8.22 from www.gimp.org/downloads/ with no problem. I'm running OSX 10.11.6 (El Capitan). I also grabbed the GIMP 2.8 User Manual install package from http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html and successfully installed that. I gather that is supposed to be integrated with the GIMP installation rather than as a standalone. But when I open GIMP preferences, it shows that the user manual is not installed locally. And I can not find it anywhere on my startup volume. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

No advice from Mac users? I use linux but have seen this type of problem reported several times.
One thing is, a package from one source very rarely works with one from another source. I unpacked the help pkg archive and just what is expected, basically a HTML installation. Should be in ...share/gimp/2.0/help (maybe)
As an alternative, although standalone, there is a PDF here http://gimp.linux.it/www/meta/

Thanks Rich. Built in would have been nice, but the pdf will work.
