I have a Python-package that calls Inkscape as part of a conversion process. I have it installed, but through Flatpak. This means that calling inkscape does not work in the terminal, but rather flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape. I need the package to be able to call it as inkscape.

What is the best way to go about this?

    If that’s the case, it’s a bit of an ugly hack but you could make a wrapper script placed in /usr/local/bin/inkscape like this:

    #!/bin/bash

flatpack run org.inkscape.Inkscape ${*}

    (the ${*} will pass along all the arguments that the wrapper script was called with)
