Method 1: How to install Fotoxx on Ubuntu using apt-get

Step 1: Update your system

The first step is to update the apt database using the apt-get command as shown below:

sudo apt-get update
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447207_48_apt-get-update-system-696x252-1.webp" alt="1664447207 48 apt get update system 696x252 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24310" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Step 2: Upgrade your system

After updating the apt database, you may be alerted to the presence of packages that need to be updated; if it is an event, go ahead and run the following command. However, you can skip this step if you are running the upgrade command and there are no packages that need to be upgraded:

sudo apt-get upgrade
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447208_743_apt-get-upgrade-system-696x252-1.webp" alt="1664447208 743 apt get upgrade system 696x252 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24311" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Step 3: Install fotoxx

Once updated and updated, we can move on to the last step, installing Fotoxx. To do this, run the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install fotoxx
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447209_636_apt-get-install-fotoxx-696x485-1.webp" alt="1664447209 636 apt get install fotoxx 696x485 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24312" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Method 2: How to install Fotoxx on Ubuntu using apt

Step 1: Update your system

Since the Fotoxx package comes with the default Ubuntu repository, we first need to update all available Ubuntu packages with the following apt command:

sudo apt update
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447215_454_apt-update-696x254-1.webp" alt="1664447215 454 apt update 696x254 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24313" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Step 2: Upgrade your system

The update command will now show you if there are any packages to update. If it is, enter the following command, but if it is not, go to the next step:

sudo apt upgrade
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447215_715_apt-upgrade-command-696x254-1.webp" alt="1664447215 715 apt upgrade command 696x254 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24314" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Step 3: Install fotoxx

Now, using the apt package manager, we will install Fotoxx on our Ubuntu system as shown below:

sudo apt install Fotoxx -y
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447217_75_apt-install-frotoxx-696x415-1.webp" alt="1664447217 75 apt install frotoxx 696x415 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24315" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Note. The “-y” flag in the command is used to tell the Linux terminal system to continue the installation process without asking you if you want to continue with the installation.

Method 3: How to install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 using aptitude

Step 1: Install aptitude

If you want this method to be effective, you may need to set up aptitude first, as it is not usually installed by default on Ubuntu. So first run the following command to install aptitude.

sudo apt install aptitude
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447218_924_install-aptitude-1-696x182-1.webp" alt="1664447218 924 install aptitude 1 696x182 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24316" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Method 4: How to install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 using a binary package

Fotoxx also provides a binary package for Ubuntu 20.04, 21.10, 22.04LTS, Debian 10.11, Fedora 36, ​​35 and other distributions such as Void Linux and others. So let’s show you how to get the appropriate binary packages from pkgs.prg.

Step 1: Download fotoxx

Sometimes it can be difficult to get a download link, but here’s what to do. First, go to the “Download Fotoxx” page, and after the page loads, click on the name of the distribution, for example, in our case, Ubuntu, and select the correct architecture for your computer’s hardware.

" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447221_230_select-ubuntu-696x397-1.webp" alt="1664447221 230 select ubuntu 696x397 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24319" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Step 2: Find the binary package

After that, scroll down and find “Binary Package”. You should see the URL on the right. To start the download process, copy and paste the URL into a new new tab as shown in the image below:

" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447222_507_download-file-min-696x397-1.webp" alt="1664447222 507 download file min 696x397 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24320" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Alternatively, you can use the wget command to start the download as shown below:

wget 
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447223_997_download-fotoxx-using-terminal-696x382-1.webp" alt="1664447223 997 download fotoxx using terminal 696x382 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24322" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Step 3: Go to your Downloads folder.

After downloading the file, open the terminal using the keyboard shortcuts “Ctrl+Alt+T” and navigate to the directory where the file is located; By default, it should be in the Downloads folder:

cd Downloads
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447224_675_navigate-to-downloads-folder-696x149-1.webp" alt="1664447224 675 navigate to downloads folder 696x149 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24323" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Method 5: How to install Fotoxx using AppImage

The only problem with this formula is that you can’t find the latest version of Fotoxx. But more importantly, you can install AppImage on any major Linux distribution without compiling Fotoxx from source.

To get the AppImage, click the Download button below:

Download FotoxxImage App

After that, navigate to AppImage packages and click on “Fotoxx-22.30-appimage” to start the download.

" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447226_555_search-binary-package-696x397-1.webp" alt="1664447226 555 search binary package 696x397 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24325" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Once the file has finished downloading, navigate to the Downloads folder with the following command:

cd Downloads
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447226_515_go-to-downloads-696x157-1.webp" alt="1664447226 515 go to downloads 696x157 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24326" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

After that, make the file executable by running the following command and make sure you replace the filename with the correct one:

sudo chmod u+x Fotoxx-22.30-appimage
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447227_77_make-the-file-executable-696x157-1.webp" alt="1664447227 77 make the file executable 696x157 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24327" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Then run this command to start Fotoxx:

./Fotoxx-22.30-appimage
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447228_417_run-fotoxx-696x483-1.webp" alt="1664447228 417 run fotoxx 696x483 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24328" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

The window is launched and ready for editing:

" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447230_179_fotoxx-user-interface-min-696x391-1.webp" alt="1664447230 179 fotoxx user interface min 696x391 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24329" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

From here installation is not required; you only need to move the file to a safe location where you can’t accidentally delete it. There are several ways to launch an application. The first is to enter the above command. You can then use other fotoxx commands or the GUI method by searching for “Fotoxx” in your application manager which will be explained later in the guide. Now let’s see if the application is installed on our system.

Check Version

Now let’s run the version command to verify that the installation was successful:

fotoxx --version
" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" decoding="async" data-src="https://i2.wp.com/foxcow.com/wp-content/uploads/1664447231_519_check-version-3-696x488-1.webp" alt="1664447231 519 check version 3 696x488 1 - How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" class="wp-image-24330" title="How to Install Fotoxx on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | foxcow"/>

Now that we have covered several methods for installing software, there are also several ways to launch it, which we will look at in detail. First, let’s start with how we can run the software using the command line.

How to run Fotoxx from the command line

To launch Fotoxx using the terminal, type the following command:
