I’m trying to switch from Windows to Linux (Zorin). When I install Pinegrow from the app store (Flathub), I get an unofficial, outdated version. Is it possible to offer the latest version and updates via Flathub? It would make my transition a lot easier 😉

Why not use Pinegrow Web?

That build was packaged and maintained by a user who wanted to contribute in their own way, but it looks like they decided to stop updating their package.

We don’t plan to take it over or change how we distribute the Linux version.

A few days after Pinegrow 9 was released I installed Pinegrow on Zorin - Linux

Basically you should follow the instructions under “Installation Instructions for Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS” on [https://pinegrow.com/docs/getting-started/install-and-run-pinegrow/install-pinegrow-on-ubuntu-linux/](https://pinegrow.com/docs/getting-started/install-and-run-pinegrow/install-pinegrow-on-ubuntu-linux/)

Here are the steps to take (has minor adjustments to the desktop file):

1. Download Pinegrow for Linux

The following you can do in your Files explorer:

2. Create a new directory called “Apps” in your home directory

3. Extract the downloaded zip-file into this new directory. (A new directory named „PinegrowLinux64.9.01“ is created.)

5. I renamed this directory into “Pinegrow“ so I don’t have to change the desktop file, we will adjust in the next step, on new Pinegrow releases

6. Open the file “Pinegrow.desktop“ in an editor and make the following changes:

6.1 Change the Exec line into: Exec=/home/username/Apps/Pinegrow/PinegrowLibrary

6.2. Add Icon=/home/username/Apps/Pinegrow/package.nw/icons/pinegrow.png

6.3 Add Categories=Development;

(Whereby you have to replace „username“ with your own username)

Now open a terminal in your Pinegrow directory and copy the Pinegrow.desktop file into the /usr/share/applications directory

7. sudo cp Pinegrow.desktop /usr/share/applications

That’s it. Now you should see the Pinegrow Application in your menu under “Programming”.
