Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'?
Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'?
I have a Python-package that calls Inkscape as part of a conversion process. I have it installed, but through Flatpak. This means that calling inkscape does not work in the terminal, but rather flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape. I need the package to be able to call it as inkscape.
What is the best way to go about this?
You're viewing a single thread.
alias inkscape="flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape"into your.bashrc.Yeah, I tried this, and it works from my session, but I still got the same error from trying to run the program. I figured it was because it is called outside the bash session so the run commands have not been run, but is that perhaps not true?
If that's the case, it's a bit of an ugly hack but you could make a wrapper script placed in
/usr/local/bin/inkscapelike this:#!/bin/bash flatpack run org.inkscape.Inkscape ${*}(the
${*}will pass along all the arguments that the wrapper script was called with)Thanks! I was trying to implement this, and was trying to figure out how to pass all the arguments! This worked for me! I got some other errors, but they don't seem related to this, so now to find out what they are all about 😅
This is a great little hack.
Saving this for later, that's genius.
