Installation of AKVIS Video Plugins on Linux

If a video editor was installed via snap install and can't find the plugin in the standard path (/usr/OFX/Plugins), you can use an alternative installation option .
Note: The AKVIS programs are compatible with Linux kernel 5.0+ 64-bit .
You can find out the kernel version using the uname -srm command.
