Hey everyone, I'm trying to install Master PDF Editor on my Linux Mint machine, but I keep running into errors, specifically: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt5gui5 (>=5.4)". I'm not really sure what that means or how to fix it. I've attempted both version 4 and 5 of the software, including both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. I've also tried the AppImage for version 5, but nothing happens when I double-click it, even after setting the permissions to make it executable. My system info is: Kernel 6.8.0-59-generic, Desktop Cinnamon version 6.4.8 on Linux Mint 22.1. Any advice?

I think the issue is due to the version of libqt5gui5 in Linux Mint being too new for the Master PDF Editor .deb package that you're trying to install. I recommend downloading the AppImage from the official site. Once you've got it, right-click on the file, choose "Properties," and check the box to make it executable. After that, double-click the AppImage to launch it. If you want to have an icon for it in your app menu, you'll need to create a .desktop entry for it too. Also, if it doesn't launch, you might need to install 'fuse' by running 'sudo apt install libfuse2' in the terminal. Just a heads-up: this isn't really about your ThinkPad or kernel; Master PDF Editor is a bit outdated compared to the newer libraries that Mint uses.
I installed fuse as suggested, but sadly the AppImage still won't load. Thanks for your input, though!
