Go to Edit > Preferences > System and check where your User Extensions folder is, then extract the xz file to there
Maybe you can also change the extensions folder in this configuration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

thanks I will check this out.
edit:just extracting the tar.xz to the extensions folder and restarting inkscape-flatpak didn´t work. It was the correct folder, I tested it by installing another extension via the inkscape extensions dialog, and that popped up right there. However using the installer script from within the flatpak-cmd worked. Thanks for your help though!
Completely different extension but this one has installation instructions that have different paths for installation depending on if its flatpak
If Inkscape was installed on Linux from Flatpakthe path is more likely ~/.var/app/org.inkscape.Inkscape/config/inkscape/extensions/.

edit - theres an open issue talking about this, too
https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/issues/1712
Maybe these steps could help? https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/issues/1712#issuecomment-1751680252
thanks, I will check this out.
edit: okay that tutorial in the open issue helped a bit. I did already have the inkstitch-3.0.1-linux.sh but entering the flatpak cmd and have the script already copied to the extensions folder worked. Thanks a bunch!
Nice to see someone else using inkstitch :)
Just starting my journey with it. We'll see how it goes :-)
If we had a few more people, we could start a lemmy community about inskstitch, so we could exchange our experiences.
hmm that's an idea, we could try an inkstitch thread here first maybe? lemmy isn't that big, so splintering it too much too early might not be ideal.
I actually have embroideryware (windows, seems unmaintained now, horrible GUI but pricewise doable), that and brother canvas workspace for my cm900 are the only two things I run wine/Bottles for still.
I'm hoping to get rid of both with Inkscape (ink/stitch and inkcut, haven't looked too much at the latter yet, I'll try stitch first).
Do you happen to know of any tutorials for absolute inkscape noobs?
You got a point. Perhaps a dedicated thread or maybe a generalized machine embroidery community would be a better starting point
I never used embroideryware, but I've been using inkstitch consistently for my work, and it has been great so far. The only thing I tried to do, but found no option, is cross stitch, but I have been thinking about trying to code that and contribute to the project
About the tutorials, sorry, I know none of them. I've been learning by experimentation and trial and error
Turns out there is a channel with some infos, just leaving it here in case someone else reads this as well
