Install latest inkscape on Ubuntu

2025-08-07 linux

When I was using the default version of Inkscape(1.2), I had encountered a trouble. The following command ignores any <image href=""> tags(images were disappeared after converted to PNG). 

inkscape --export-type=png --export-dpi=200 input.svg -o output.png

After upgrading to the latest version(1.4), the images are shown correctly. Here's the command to install.

add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable
# Press [ENTER] to continue
apt update
apt install inkscape
