Instructions are there. May vary depending on your setup.

I’ve tried to follow the instructions on the site, but here’s what I came up with… :confused: (And my print screen application no longer works on my L5…)

Ay, the gir1.2-gnomedesktop-4.0 is the problem, as L5 byzantium has gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0

Ping @dos - maybe there are already simple instructions or update how normal L3 users can install glowup (when I tested it back then, my then install was a mess and I can’t remember what I did)

They are there since the very beginning. What do you think “Outdated distros” refers to? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

So if I understand correctly, it will be very difficult for a noob like me to install Glowup?

Why? The instructions are there. On PureOS, you will want to use the Flatpak method. Are the instructions unclear?

Install Darktable and GNOME Characters (or some other app containing libgnome-desktop) from Flathub, run the one-time setup script and then use that flatpak run incantation from the README.

Some users occasionally have trouble with apt and prefer gui, so of course they are. They’re more of set of hints out of order and with vague wording than what someone less knowledgeable than you might consider a step-by-step guide with ample details and explanations (with pictures, no less).

As well as being a beginner, I speak French and don’t understand everything. As you can see, Darktable is installed, but I still get this result…

Pictures/printout of what to expect in Terminal would be good.
