An alternative way to install darktable on Ubuntu systems is using a PPA (Personal Package Archive)…
PPA’s can be dangerous if you don’t know who provides it.
The owner of this website https://ubuntuhandbook.org/ has a PPA for darktable for years. (UbuntuHandbook | Ubuntu PPAs)
I used it years ago when I was on Lubuntu.
After using Linux Manjaro for a few years I’m on Linux Mint and was pleased that I could use his PPA’s for darktable and Gimp.
I got the update to darktable 5.6 yesterday.
