inkcut installed on linux mint

I am trying to follow the instructions from the inkcut site. I get to the part of the python3 install, but i cant get passed it

I had issues too, no one replied to my post, "need installation instructions for pipx"

maybe this helps: inkcut.org/t/inkcut-on-ubuntu-2404/146/post/530/

What was the fail message? I was able to get through it a few days ago by appending --break-system-packages
so it looked like,
sudo pip3 install inkcut --break-system-packages

or are you having trouble installing python3 in the first place?

I gave it a try on Fedora 44 workstation and got further but got this error message when I typed 'inkcut' on the terminal
ERROR | inkcut | No Qt bindings could be found

I used pip3 to install inkcut, but then when I looked for a fix for the above msg it refers to pipx.
so then I installed pipx, and tried to do sudo pipx install inkcut and that threw errors too.

I uninstalled everything to start over and installed pipx , that is fine , when I do sudo pipx install inkcut I get
firefly@fedora:~$ sudo pipx install inkcut
[sudo] password for firefly:
⣟ installing inkcutFatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
/root/.local/state/pipx/log/cmd_2026-06-15_17.55.10_pip_errors.log

pip failed to build package:
pycups

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory
error: failed-wheel-build-for-install

Error installing inkcut.
firefly@fedora:~$

I can't seem to find the log file at path it gave.

I think I got it , is started just throwing everything at it, this finally worked:

sudo dnf install gcc python3-devel cups-devel

I did it before but without the 'gcc' before and it did not work, Then the following worked
pip install pycups
then I did
pipx install inkcut
installed package inkcut 2.1.7, installed using Python 3.14.5
These apps are now available
- inkcut

now what? I don't see it as an app, nor does typing inkcut in terminal works.
