How to Install Joplin on Linux Mint Latest

Joplin is an open-source note-taking app and to-do list manager. It allows you to organize your notes in a hierarchical structure and sync them across devices via cloud services such as Dropbox, OneDrive or Nextcloud. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Joplin on Linux Mint Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing Joplin, ensure that you have the following:

• A desktop environment installed on your Linux Mint Latest, such as Cinnamon, Mate or Xfce.
• A web browser installed on your system, such as Firefox, Chromium or Google Chrome.

Step 1: Download and Install Joplin

Joplin is available for Linux systems in two versions: as an AppImage and as a Debian package. Both versions are available for download on the Joplin website. In this tutorial, we will use the Debian package.

1. Open your web browser and go to the Joplin Downloads page.
2. Scroll down to the Linux section and click on "Debian / Ubuntu".
3. Save the .deb package to your Downloads folder or a directory of your choice.

4. Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.
5. Navigate to the directory where the .deb package is saved by running the command cd ~/Downloads (replace ~/Downloads with the appropriate directory if necessary).
6. Install the package by running the command sudo apt install ./joplin-*.deb (replace * with the version number of the package).

7. Type your password when prompted and press Enter to confirm the installation.
8. Wait for the installation to complete. Once it's done, you should see Joplin listed in your applications menu.

Step 2: Launch Joplin

To launch Joplin on Linux Mint, follow the steps below:

1. Click on the Applications menu in your desktop environment.
2. Type "Joplin" in the search bar and select the Joplin icon.
3. Wait for Joplin to launch. The first time you launch Joplin, it may take a few seconds to initialize.

Step 3: Configure Joplin

To use Joplin, you need to configure it with a sync target, such as Dropbox, OneDrive or Nextcloud. Follow the steps below to configure Joplin:

1. Launch Joplin by following the steps in Step 2.
2. On the first run, Joplin will prompt you to create a new profile. Click on "Create a new profile".
3. Enter a name for your profile and click "OK".
4. In the left-hand menu, click on "Tools".
5. Click on "Options".
6. In the "Synchronization" section, select your sync target from the dropdown menu. For example, if you want to use Dropbox, select "Dropbox".
7. Follow the prompts to authorize Joplin to access your sync target. This may involve logging into your sync service and granting Joplin access.
8. Once you have authorized Joplin to access your sync target, you should see a message saying that "Synchronization has been enabled". Click "OK" to close the options window.
