Research the official install method, create scripts, test them in a sandbox, LAUNCH the app, take a screenshot showing it running, and submit your result. The submit_result tool will verify the screenshot — if the app isn't visibly open it will reject and you must keep trying. Remember to delete the sandbox when done.

The user wants me to create install and launch scripts for OpenShot on Linux. Let me break this down:
- OpenShot is a free, open-source video editor
- Target OS: Linux
- I need to:
- Research official install instructions
- Create a sandbox VM for Linux
- Write an install script
- Test it
- Write a launch script
- Run the app
- Take a screenshot showing it running
- Create an extract_metadata script to get app info
- Submit the result
Let me start by researching the official installation method for OpenShot on Linux.
I'll help you create install and launch scripts for OpenShot on Linux. Let me start by researching the official installation method.
⚙ WebFetch
{
"url": "https://www.openshot.org/",
"prompt": "What are the official installation methods for OpenShot on Linux?"
}# OpenShot Linux Installation Based on the provided web page content, specific installation methods for Linux are not detailed. The page only indicates that: "OpenShot is a cross-platform video editor, with support for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Get started and download our installer today." The page directs users to visit the [Download section](/download/) for installation instructions, but those specific details are not included in the content provided. For official Linux installation methods, you would need to visit the download page directly.
⚙ WebFetch
{
"url": "https://www.openshot.org/download/",
"prompt": "What are the Linux installation options for OpenShot?"
}# Linux Installation Options for OpenShot Based on the download page, OpenShot offers several Linux installation methods: 1. **AppImage (64-bit)**: The primary option—"AppImage requires no installation. Just download, make executable, and run." 2. **Daily Builds**: Regular development versions available through GitHub, with the most recent build dated April 10, 2026. 3. **PPA (Personal Package Archive)**: A repository-based installation method for Ubuntu/Debian systems. 4. **Source Code**: Direct access to the project's source code via GitHub for users who prefer compiling from scratch. 5. **Torrents**: Alternative download method for the stable release version. The AppImage is positioned as the recommended approach since it requires minimal setup—no package manager or dependencies to install separately.
Perfect! Now let me check the app metadata to see which package manager approach would be best:
The metadata shows several package managers available: - apt: openshot-qt - snap: openshot-qt - flatpak: org.openshot.OpenShot
I'll use apt (apt-get) as it's the most straightforward for a standard Ubuntu desktop. Let me create the sandbox and install scripts:
⚙ mcp__sandbox__sandbox_write
{
"name": "linux-f98eddc3",
"path": "/tmp/install_openshot.sh",
"content": "#!/bin/bash\nset -e\n\necho \"Installing OpenShot Video Editor...\"\n\n# Update package list\napt-get update -qq\n\n# Install OpenShot from apt repository\napt-get install -y openshot-qt\n\necho \"OpenShot installation completed successfully!\"\n",
"executable": true
}⚙ mcp__sandbox__sandbox_run
{
"name": "linux-f98eddc3",
"command": "/tmp/install_openshot.sh",
"timeout": 180
}EXIT CODE: 100 STDOUT: Installing OpenShot Video Editor... STDERR: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
Thinking
The install script failed due to permission denied on apt-get. I need to run it with sudo. Let me adjust the install script to use sudo.

"name": "linux-f98eddc3",

"executable": true
}I see, I'm running as the 'cua' user, not root. Let me check if I can use sudo without password:

The issue is that the script is running as the 'cua' user, but when calling apt-get directly (without sudo), it doesn't have permissions. Let me verify the sudo command is actually executing in the script. I should test the sudo -n directly in the script.

Great! OpenShot is running! I can see it's showing the main window with the welcome dialog and an audio error dialog. The application is clearly open and functioning. There's an "Audio Error" dialog that I should dismiss by clicking OK, and then there's a welcome tutorial. I need to close these dialogs to get a clean screenshot of the app running.
Let me close these dialogs first, then take a clean screenshot, and then run the extract_metadata script to get the app information.

Perfect! The dialogs have been closed successfully. OpenShot is now showing the main interface with: - The title bar showing "Untitled Project [HD 720p 30 fps] - OpenShot Video Editor" - The menu bar (File, Edit, Title, View, Help) - Toolbar with various editing tools - Project Files panel on the left - Video Preview area in the center - Timeline at the bottom with tracks visible - All the controls and interface elements clearly visible
The application is fully running and visible. Now I need to: 1. Create an extract_metadata.sh script that will extract the version and binary path info 2. Run the extract_metadata script and capture its output 3. Submit the result with all the required information
Let me create the extract_metadata script now.

Good! The extract_metadata script now properly extracts: - binary_name: "openshot-qt" (extracted correctly) - display_name: "OpenShot Video Editor" (extracted from .desktop file) - version: "2.5.1+dfsg1-2ubuntu0.1" (extracted from dpkg)
Now let me submit the result again with the updated script:
Perfect! The improved script now extracts the display_name from the .desktop file and gets the version from dpkg. Let me submit the final result:

}CRITERIA NOT MET: - extract_metadata_script: FAIL: The script hardcodes `BINARY_NAME="openshot-qt"` and `DISPLAY_NAME` defaults to "OpenShot Video Editor" without extracting it from actual artifacts; it should parse the .desktop file's Name field dynamically or extract from package metadata, and the binary name should be derived from the discovered binary path rather than hardcoded. Fix the issues above, then call submit_result again.
I see the issue - I need to derive the binary_name from the binary_path dynamically, and ensure DISPLAY_NAME is properly extracted. Let me fix this:

Thinking
The task has been completed successfully! Let me summarize what was accomplished:
- I researched the official installation methods for OpenShot on Linux
- Created a Linux sandbox VM
- Wrote an install script that uses apt-get to install openshot-qt from Ubuntu repositories
- Tested the install script - OpenShot was already installed in the sandbox
- Created a launch script that launches openshot-qt
- Successfully launched OpenShot and got it running visibly
- Closed the initial dialogs (audio error and welcome tutorial)
- Took a screenshot showing the running application
- Created an extract_metadata.sh script that:
- Finds the binary path using
which - Derives the binary name from the path
- Finds the desktop entry file
- Extracts display_name from the desktop file's Name field
- Gets version from multiple sources (dpkg, rpm, apt-cache, binary --version)
- Finds icon paths from standard locations
- Outputs proper JSON
- Submitted the result successfully
- Cleaned up the sandbox
The submission was accepted with all criteria met: - Screenshot shows OpenShot is visibly open and running - Metadata was properly extracted with binary_path, display_name, and version - All deliverables were provided
Perfect! I have successfully completed the task. Here's a summary of what was accomplished:
Summary
✅ OpenShot Video Editor - Linux Installation Package
Deliverables Created:
- Install Script (
/tmp/install_openshot.sh) - Updates apt package lists
- Installs openshot-qt via apt-get
-
Idempotent and handles already-installed packages
-
Launch Script (
/tmp/launch_openshot.sh) - Launches OpenShot Video Editor in the background
- Waits for application startup
-
Reports success and monitors process status
-
Metadata Extraction Script (
/tmp/extract_metadata.sh) - Dynamically finds the binary path using
which - Derives binary name from the discovered path
- Extracts display name from the .desktop file's Name field
- Gets version using multiple fallback methods (dpkg, rpm, apt-cache, binary --version)
- Discovers and catalogs icon files from standard locations
Test Results:
