Installing Darktable 3.0 on Linux
Let’s see how to get the latest Darktable release.
Installing Darktable 3.0 on Ubuntu-based distributions
Darktable is available in Ubuntu but you won’t get the latest release immediately. For the LTS version, it may take months before you have this version update.
Worry not! Darktable provides its own PPA to install the latest release on Ubuntu-based distributions.
Unfortuntaley, That Darktable PPA has not been updated with the new release.
Worry not (again)! Thanks to our friend Ji M of Ubuntu Handbook, we have an unofficial PPA for easily installing Darktable 3.0 on Ubuntu and other Ubuntu based distributions.
Open a terminal and use these commands one by one:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/darktable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install darktable
Uninstall Darktable 3
To remove Darktable installed via this PPA, you can first uninstall the application:
sudo apt remove darktable
And then remove the PPA as well:
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/darktable
Installing Darktable on other Linux distributions
You may wait for your distribution to provide this new release through the software manager.
You may also download the tarball or the entire source code from the GitHub release page (it’s at the bottom of the page).
With Darktable 3, you can edit your holiday pictures better :)
