Get the snap package

or install it from the command line with:

sudo snap install inkscape --channel=1.2.2/stable

or update / downgrade to 1.2.2 with:

sudo snap refresh inkscape --channel=1.1.2/stable

Note that the Inkscape snap package comes with a couple of restrictions. Some of these can be solved, and some are unavoidable due to the safety level of the packaging format. The work-around by installing the snap in the --classic mode is no longer available, because Inkscape is now packaged as a 'strict snap' only.

• Custom markers and custom patterns cannot be saved to the file where Inkscape is looking for them (which is /usr/share/inkscape/markers/markers.svg and /usr/share/inkscape/patterns/patterns.svg) for use with the Fill and Stroke dialog. This behavior cannot be changed. Custom patterns saved in the user configuration directory can be used from the 'Paint servers' dialog, though.
• The Inkscape snap is a confined application and so it can not launch other applications. This means that you cannot use some extensions that rely on those external applications (e.g. export as XCF, PDFLatex, CMYK PDF, ...).
• The Inkscape snap supports accessing devices like plotters directly over USB, but must be explicit given permission to access the USB devices. To do that you can use your application installer, system settings, or the command line:
  sudo snap connect inkscape:raw-usb.
• The Inkscape snap might not integrate well with your desktop theme, as it can only uses themes provided by snap theming. You should also be able to add custom themes in the user configuration directory.
• Note: If you try to save as PDF or any other non-SVG file format and Inkscape creates an SVG file instead that only has a different file extension and does not open correctly in the program it should be opened with, this is usually the result of outdated xdg-portals. Please talk to your desktop vendor about updating them.
