The guide takes you through a quick three‑step method to install PhotoQT on Ubuntu 22.04, beginning with a check of the official repository for an available package. If the package is present, a single sudo apt install command brings in all dependencies and places the viewer under your Images menu; if not, it offers snap and flatpak alternatives that deliver the latest builds without altering your base system. Once you launch PhotoQT you’ll see how to adjust settings such as default zoom, slideshow behavior and custom hotkeys so that raw images display at an optimal size and navigation stays keyboard‑driven. In short, installing through apt is the cleanest route, while snap or flatpak act as reliable fallbacks, keeping image browsing fast, lightweight and free of bloat.
