Linux Installation Guide

All Linux Distributions
JASP is available for virtually all Linux distributions through the widely available �athub
(https://�athub.org/), a �atpak (https://�atpak.org/) application distribution channel for linux .
To use this you must have �atpak installed and if it isn’t yet it should be fairly simple to get it
through your package manager.

Instructions on how to install JASP can be found on �athub (https://�athub.org/apps/details

/org.jaspstats.JASP).

But you could also enter the following in a terminal:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

flatpak install flathub org.jaspstats.JASP

Uninstalling
Should you want to uninstall JASP for any reason you can use the following command:

flatpak uninstall org.jaspstats.JASP && flatpak uninstall --unused

Ubuntu, Mint and other Ubuntu derivatives

Because the �atpak shipped with these systems is often outdated it is recommended to
follow this guide (https://�atpak.org/setup/Ubuntu) to get a ppa with the latest versions.

Font problem in plots

If the fonts in your plots are not rendered properly it might be the same issue as is described

here (https://github.com/jasp-stats/jasp-issues/issues/780).
To solve this problem you can simply execute the following in a terminal:

flatpak run --command=fc-cache org.jaspstats.JASP -f -v

HiDPI
If your computer has a so-called HiDPI (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI) screen
you might �nd that JASP is incredibly large on your desktop. To avoid this try something like:

QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=2 QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1 flatpak run org.j

You can tweak the values to get a result that �ts your screen, besides that you can also
simply change the scaling in JASP, but it has some side-effects like minimum window size
that will only be resolved through the above command.

Start from console

It might not be automatically added to the application menu in some cases (ubuntu for
instance) and there you can start JASP by running:

flatpak run org.jaspstats.JASP

Updating
After you have installed JASP from �atpak any new releases/updates can be installed by
running:

flatpak update

Should the �atpak install fail to work for some reason you can �rst try:

flatpak repair

And you can always contact us for support or you can try to build JASP from source, see:
