I already installed version 0.64.0 from my distro repository (LMDE) then I installed the 0.64.1 version .deb package available on the website but I don’t know how to run it.
PS: when I write in the terminal:
dpkg-query -l
it shows in the results that the 0.64.1 version is installed:
ii synfigstudio 0.64.0-1 i386 vector-based 2D animation package
Maybe just type synfigstudio in the terminal would be enough?
If it doesn’t work, try to know where the executable is. Type:
$ which synfigstudio
And it would tell you the path to the executable. Then simply write the full path on the terminal to execute synfigstudio.
Anyway, when you installed the 0.64.1 vesion, didn’t it warned you to be about to replace the previous 0.64.0 version? If so, the menu entry for Synfig Studio should run the latest version.
yes it warned me, but sounds that it installed both versions, when I open synfig from the main menu (as well as writing synfigstudio in the terminal) it runs the 0.64.0 version.

Description: Film-Quality 2D Vector Animation package
Synfig Animation Studio is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based
2D animation software, designed from the ground-up for producing
feature-film quality animation with fewer people and resources.
It eliminates the need for tweening, preventing the need to hand-draw
each frame. Synfig features spatial and temporal resolution independence
(sharp and smooth at any resolution or framerate), high dynamic range
images, and a flexible plugin system.

pretty good, and should respond wheel when started from the terminal / launch command ALT+F2
you should also have synfigstudio entry in the application menu (under graphics? … near gimp/inkscape/…)
