How to Install Inkscape V.1.0 Beta on Windows OS

mrfdn – Doing vector or illustration design work, it can only be done on design software. There are various software ranging from paid to free.

And the most popular is of course Adobe Illustrator.

Has helped many people in designing logos, vectors, fonts, posters, and others. For those who have many designs, these works are sold on miksrostock sites, such as Shutterstock, Freepik, and others.

But to use AI, it turns out that you have to pay for the license first. About 19 dollars per month.

If you can’t afford to buy an Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw license to design, the alternative is to just use Inkscape.

This free software can do almost all the work done for vector or illustrator designs.

I also use inkscape. Even more familiar with Inkscape than AI or Corel. Because this is the first vector design software that I learned.

Take a look at some of my vector work using Inkscape.

It’s a shame, it’s still ugly, you know, I’m a beginner..

Well, if you are also an Inkscape user, of course you are very familiar with version 0.9.2. This version is the most stable at the moment.

But if you don’t know, now there is Inkscape V.1.0. That is the Inkscape version which is still in Beta test version. There are advantages and disadvantages to share. That’s why the version is still in beta, some bugs still need to be collected by the developer to make it more stable.

Even so, you can still use Inkscape v1.0 normally. But to install it on Windows, the way is quite tricky. Not like how to install as usual.
