Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor, also a great alternative to Adobe Illustrator in Linux. To install Inkscape on Arch-based Linux distros (e.g. Manjaro, EndeavourOS, ArcoLinux, BlackArch), we'll use the official package from AUR (Arch User Repository).

Installation

Install Inkscape from its AUR repository:

  • Using pacman (default package manager)

    sudo pacman -S inkscape
    Bash
  • Using yay (AUR helper)

    yay -S inkscape
    Bash

After the installation is completed, use the shortcut on your desktop or applications menu to open Inkscape:
