Can't install

[awinborne415]

I have tried to install using the debian package and it shows installed but inksacpe doesn't show any of the features. I.E send to silhouette. I tried to do the manual way because I am using POP OS but it wont allow me to it says "No rule to make target install." Any ideas?

this looks like a permission issue with your Ubuntu setup and no specific issue with inkscape-silhouette. probably you'll be able to google and find similar issues for other packages and hopefully a solution matching your issue...
