Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'? - eviltoast

I have a Python-package that calls Inkscape as part of a conversion process. I have it installed, but through Flatpak. This means that calling inkscape does not work in the terminal, but rather flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape. I need the package to be able to call it as inkscape.

What is the best way to go about this?

    You can do an alias for the shell you use or make a symlink to /usr/local/bin/ for the entire system.

    There are importany reasons why this is not the default, but you can do it as long as you are away you have done it. Like when programs installed via package manager and flatpak starts conflicting, you’ll know why.
