How to install darktable

Darktable is a developer utility. Development happens publicly, and releases are published by the project maintainers.

About the project

Darktable is developer utility. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The project is run by its own contributors rather than by a company. Release cadence, supported platforms and documentation are all decided by the team behind it.

Typical distribution routes

Distribution depends on the project. Common routes include the system package index, a language registry, a version manager, or a source build described in the project documentation.

Before you start

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

Afterwards

A version query afterwards is usually enough to confirm the environment picked it up. If the result is unexpected, the usual causes are a stale path entry or a version manager resolving to a different release.
