After installing it, when I click on the ShotCut Icon in my Linux Apps > It displays that plugins are loading. but crashes / closes immediately.

Uninstalling Shotcut search path problem
When I uninstalled Shotcut the Terminal displayed >
Note that ‘/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share’ is not in the search path
set by the XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variables, so applications may not be able to find it until you set them.
.
The directories currently searched are:
- /root/.local/share
ID Branch Op

Installing Shotcut
I have tried installing Shotcut different ways
1 Using the command flatpak install flathub org.shotcut.Shotcut
Or
2 Clicking on the the setup guide for your Linux distribution > Selecting Debian
1 Install Flatpak
A flatpak package is available in Debian 10 (Buster) and newer. To install it, run the following as root:
sudo apt install flatpak
2 I tried with and without option 2
3 Add the Flathub repository
Flathub is the best place to get Flatpak apps. To enable it, download and install the Flathub repository file or run the following in a terminal:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Sudo
In all these three steps I have to include sudo before it will install or it returns that there is an install problem with the user
Possible Solutions
Is there a solution for the crashing?
Is there something I can of should do to remedy the problem?
Thanks
