Hello, I use FFS for years but now I try it on Linux ( Ubuntu 24.4.2 LTS)
I don't understand why I can't find the application in the terminal windows. I need to write the exact name of the app, but what is it ?
Thanks

That might depend on how you installed it. It might be "freefilesync" or "FreeFileSync" or "org.freefilesync.FreeFileSync" or "FreeFileSync_x86_64" or similar. In your terminal, you can start typing any of these and then hit <tab> to get some autocompletion to guide you.
Upon learning which of these will complete, then you would take that whole single value and put it inside something like this:
And this will tell you the full path to that executable file.
