Blender installation

[katefive]

Hi! Thank you for your great work.

Following your kind explanation, I was going to install the blender package. I've tried several ways but I finally failed to install it.

1. Install via snap: use command sudo snap install blender --channel=2.93lts/stable --classic. In this way, I got /snap/bin/blender and /snap/blender/3688 but when I put command blender --background --version, the system says The program 'blender' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install blender.

2. Install via binary file: download blender-2.93.18-linux-x64.tar.xz from https://www.blender.org/download/lts/2-93/ and uncompress it, and copy the binary file into /usr/bin/ directory. After that, blender --background --version return Blender 2.93.18 (hash cb886aba06d5 built 2023-05-22 23:33:27) correctly but blender --background --python-expr "import sys; print('\nThe version of python is '+sys.version.split(' ')[0])" occurs the following error:

Color management: using fallback mode for management

I've been struggling with this problem for several days.... I couldn't find any solution on google. I would so appreciate it if you (or anyone else) could help me with this issue.

Thank you.
