    Environment: fresh install of Peppermint OS Mini, Debian base, 64-bit.
    The 'suggested' app (for choosing browsers and/or other common programs) works fine.

    Using the synaptic package manager I installed pepinstall along with its dependencies.

    Now when I try to run ‘suggested’ (either from welcome or pep hub), there is a momentary flash of a window (too quick to read) and then it disappears. I don’t know what exact program is trying to run otherwise I might be able to see something in a terminal.

    If you open a terminal and type suggested can you paste the output. here

    thanks!

    That's the name I would have expected it to be--no wonder I couldn't find it. Also attached is a screenshot from synaptic showing all expected repositories are present.

    corey@pepper:~$ suggested
    bash: suggested: command not found
    corey@pepper:~$ sudo suggested
    sudo: suggested: command not found
    corey@pepper:~$ whereis suggested
    suggested:
    corey@pepper:~$ sudo apt search suggested | grep '^sug'

    WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

    corey@pepper:~$

    Does this exist?
    /home/YOURUSER/.local/share/pmostools/peptools/

    And what is in this folder

    /usr/local/bin/
