The distro I run is Mint and I installed via a PPA. I would love to do a build-from-scratch but apparently I don't know what I'm doing:) The darktable page says:
- Grab the latest source tarball <https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/releases/tag/release-2.2.5> (recent version: darktable 2.2.5) – make sure to use the .tar.xz file and not the auto generated .zip or .tar.gz! - Install the dependencies. For details see the link below. - Unpack: $ tar xvf darktable-2.2.5.tar.xz && cd darktable-2.2.5 - Then either do $ ./build.sh - or, manually: $ mkdir build && cd build/ $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. $ make -j5 # make install $ darktable - In order to get darktable displayed along with your other applications you need to set a symlink: $ ln -s /opt/darktable/share/applications/darktable.desktop /usr/share/applications/darktable.desktop For a more complete set of instructions for different distributions have a look at our Wiki <http://redmine.darktable.org/projects/darktable/wiki/Building_darktable_22> . I am assuming the 'link below' that they are talking about in the second sentence is the link in the last sentence. Unfortunately, clicking the link leads to a 404 error.
