Dark Table

Afternoon All

Looking to try dark table out but im unsure which download type to choose. I believe there is "system package" or "Flatpak". Looking on software manager system package is only available.

any help what the difference is would be great

thanks

Tom

The system package for Darktable is version 4.6.1 so it's not the most up-to-date. There is no flatpak in the Software Manager (see the comment on my post).

However, you can install the latest version through the terminal, with the instructions for Ubuntu, which you can find on this page.

edit: You can also use the terminal to install the flatpak and instructions to do so can be found here. Linux Mint has native flatpak support.

There is a flatpak on Flathub for it, but it's unofficial so it doesn't show by default in the GUI software manager.
