Setting the Xournal++ Installation Path

If you run into the following error or encounter any other issues, you might have to set the path to your Xournal++ installation manually.

Error: Xournal++ path not setup correctly. Please check docs on how to set it up.

Defaults

The defaults are the following:

  • Linux: xournalpp
  • Windows: c:\Program Files\Xournal++\bin\xournalpp.exe
  • MacOS: /Applications/Xournal++.app/Contents/MacOS/xournalpp

By default, this plugin will try through all the above options.

Manually Setting the Xournal++ Path

To manually set the Xournal++ installation path, open Obsidian and go to Settings -> Xournal++ and set the path to whatever is right on your system.

Find the Right Xournal++ Installation Path

To find the right installation path for your system, you need to find out where Xournal++ is installed to. On Windows you need to link to the .exe file, which is usually found in the Program Files folder. On MacOS you need to link to the xournalpp file inside a .app folder, usually within the Applications folder. On Linux, if you have both Obsidian and Xournal++ installed through Flatpack, you can use flatpak-spawn --host flatpak run com.github.xournalpp.xournalpp as the installation path (more information: Issue #2).
