Install

Flatpak (recommended, with automatic updates)

Click Install with Flatpak above and open the downloaded file. Your software center (Linux Mint Software Manager, GNOME Software or KDE Discover) opens with an Install button. Updates then arrive through your normal software updates.

Or from a terminal:

flatpak install https://dengo07.github.io/pickit/Pickit.flatpakref

On Ubuntu or Debian, install Flatpak first: sudo apt install flatpak.

Pickit reuses the runtimes and graphics drivers your other Flatpak apps already use. The first install downloads only what's missing (typically the GNOME runtime, about 400 MB); updates are about 5 MB.

AppImage (a single file, no installation)

Download Pickit-x86_64.AppImage from the latest release, then allow it to run: right-click โ†’ Properties โ†’ Permissions โ†’ Allow executing file as program. Now double-click it. Or from a terminal:

chmod +x Pickit-x86_64.AppImage && ./Pickit-x86_64.AppImage
