Title, when I try to run it from terminal it says this after asking for permission.

$ gparted
Unit -.mount does not exist, proceeding anyway. /usr/sbin/gpartedbin:
error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

First day using linux, what does this mean? I thought it meant I was missing something so I tried to download it, it put out:

$ sudo apt install gparted

gparted is already the newest version (0.30.0-3ubuntu2).

Any ideas? I can't seem to find anything on the internet that fixes this problem. Running Xubuntu 18.04.3, so I don't have other ways to format my usb.

identify missing libaries with ldd /usr/sbin/gpartedbin | grep not

You can find the packages with apt-file search string of missing libary. You have to install it first 

sudo apt install apt-file && sudo apt update

Example 

apt-file search libgtkmm-2.4.so.1
libgtkmm-2.4-1v5: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1
libgtkmm-2.4-1v5: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1.1.0
