The installation is pretty easy on Linux. If your computer already has flatpak installed, you can use the following two commands to install JASP
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo flatpak install flathub org.jaspstats.JASP
My user reported that even JASP is installed, she cannot run it. Whenever she click on the JASP icon, the cursor changed to a spinning ball and nothing happens. Upon checking the /var/log/syslog.1, I found this entry:
org.jaspstats.JASP.desktop[26757]: [3:9:1018/140401.782220:FATAL:flatpak_sandbox.cc(286)] Your Flatpak version is too old, please update it
I checked the flatpak version on the computer, it is already the highest version. To fix this problem, we need to use the official Flatpak PPA. Use these commands to update the flatpak version:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:flatpak/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpakAfter flatpak upgrade, the user was able to launch JASP.
