SYNOPSIS
-
flatpak install [OPTION...] REMOTE NAME [BRANCH]
- flatpak install [OPTION...] --bundle FILENAME
DESCRIPTION
By default this looks for both apps and runtime with the given NAME in the specified REMOTE, but you can limit this by using the --app or --runtime option.
Note that flatpak allows one to have multiple branches of an application and runtimes installed and used at the same time. However, only version of an application one can be current, meaning its exported files (for instance desktop files and icons) are visible to the host. The last installed version is made current by default, but you can manually change with make-current.
Unless overridden with the --user option, this command creates a system-wide installation.
The alternative form of the command installs an application from a single-file bundle instead of a configured remote. Such bundles can be created with the flatpak build-bundle command.
