There are two problems there Fred.WB7ODYFred wrote:Joplin Note taking application
1. Joplin installer expects grep that supports "PCRE".
2. Joplin installer doesn't like to run as root.
(1) is easily fixed, just install grep-pcre from the repo.
(2) is requires modification to the install command.

You won't get a desktop file, unless you install another package called "desktop-file-utils" from the repo. Once you install this Joplin will ask if you want to create a desktop file. Unfortunately it will create the desktop file with the wrong category, so it won't be shown by the panel menu. You will need to edit /usr/local/share/applications/appimagekit-joplin.desktop and change the "Category" from "Office" to "X-Document". You will then have Joplin entry under the "Document" panel menu.
Note: I have only tested installation and that it launches. I have't used it myself so I'm sure if it works or not.
EDIT: In the final release you don't need this: I will get both grep-pcre and desktop-file-utils into the ISO.
You're welcome!Thanks James Bond, and other developers for a wonderful FatDog64 experience with a small linux package.
