Hi @matjazmav , I'm not sure you're following exactly the install instructions? your package name above should say com.github.babluboy.bookworm

plus, there are additional instructions in case you miss the libgranite packag, described in the same page. I hope it helps.

Why is it not just simply called bookworm ??? This is what everybody would expect and I guess every second user runs into this. Why are you using com.github.babluboy.bookworm as a program name? This does not make sense at all. Please make it just bookworm - KISS! Thanks!

Also it would be great to remove that additional ppa dependency, but I understand that this generates some work - is there no way to avoid that in the first place?

I had that issue, and the problem was that it needed libgranite5. I fix it with the following solution:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip.scott/spice-up-daily
sudo apt install libgranite5

the reason why the package name was changed from "bookworm" to "com.github.babluboy.bookworm" is due to the Reverse Domain Name Notation (RDNN) as described in the Elementary HIG: https://elementary.io/docs/code/getting-started#the-desktop-file

Closing this as hopefully the installation issue with libgranite should be resolved by the installation of the dependant libraries. This is also described here: https://babluboy.github.io/bookworm/#install
