Title: Latest scribus svn in windows
Post by: marce colina on October 31, 2025, 07:21:43 PM
Hi! Im using the latest svn on Linux, 1027, and is great! I want to use it on windows too, but is not available, it is 1002. There is a flatpak but i dont know how to run it in windows using WSL. How can use the latest svn in Windows?

There is currently no way to "magically" get the latest SVN on Windows.

But, from time to time, the team releases a SVN snapshot for Windows.
And they are the snapshots that are published the most frequently.

Running the Appimage or the Flatpak under WSL might be possible.

I think that I have instructions about compiling and running Scribus in a Docker container in Windows.
But they need to be tested and cleaned up first.

If your computer is beefy enough, you could think about installing a virtual machine with Linux and run the Appimage / Flatpak inside of it.
That should be pretty easy.

I have it running in a VM with Mint, great. But WSL apps are more handy.

Do you manage to run other GUI programs from the WSL?

Have you tried the Scribus Appimage?

I installed and run Inkscape 1.4.2 in WSL and works great. But Scribus svn is not in the repositories and i dont know how make the flatpack run in WSL from a local copy.

On Gitlab, there is a CI generated Appimage maintained by the community:
