[digiKam-users] Installing digiKam on Linux Mint 19.2

[Barry Robinson]

I installed digikam on LM 19.2 using the software manager which only has 5.6.0 available and the only option I could find to load 6.3.0 is to use snapd.  To avoid conflict with 2 versions at the same time, I first removed 5.6.0 using the software manager.  Then, using the snap-store, installed 6.3.0. But when I launch digiKam, I get the following:


:~$ snap run digikam

cp: cannot stat '/snap/digikam/4/kf5/usr/share/mime': No such file or directory

Directory '/home/robinson/snap/digikam/4/.local/share/mime/packages' does not exist!

ERROR: update-mime-database /home/robinson/snap/digikam/4/.local/share/mime exited abnormally with status 1

/snap/digikam/4/usr/bin/digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Sql.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Then next attemp:


:~$ snap run digikam

/snap/digikam/4/usr/bin/digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Sql.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

:~$

Any suggestions?

I'm fairly new with Linux so I'll need instructions with details.
