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
```
