@JANDOE ,
Good news is I did it on my Debian machine… and it works - when I hit the extensions button in inkscape it lists ink/stitch.

So what you need to do is check very carefully what you did against what I did. Here is my method

  1. apt-get install inkscape
  2. Go to the inkstitch site
    Go to User Manual and it should say Install Inkstitch
    Tick the Linux button
    Tick the Download DEB package button
    it should download the file inkstitch_2.1.2_amd64.deb
    [ I hope your computer is 64bit otherwise this package will not work]
  3. In your own computer
    Use the applications menu to start inkscape
    Use su or sudo for next line
    `dpkg -i inkstitch_2.1.2_amd64.deb’
    close the inkscape window
    Use the applications menu again to start inkscape
    Look in Extensions … it should be there

So what did you miss?
Make sure your computer is 64bit. Make sure inkscape is running when you do the install of inkstitch.

Regards
Neville
