NAME¶
flatpak-install - Install an application or runtimeSYNOPSIS¶
Install from a configured remote:flatpak install [OPTION...] REMOTE-NAME REF...
Install from a .flatpakref file:
flatpak install [OPTION...] [--from] LOCATION
Install from a .flatpak bundle:
flatpak install [OPTION...] [--bundle] FILENAME
Install from an OCI registry:
flatpak install [OPTION...] --oci LOCATION [TAG]
DESCRIPTION¶
Installs an application or runtime. The primary way to install is to specify a [REMOTE] name as the source and one ore more [REF]s to specify the application or runtime to install. Each REF argument is a full or partial indentifier in the flatpak ref format, which looks like "(app|runtime)/ID/ARCH/BRANCH". All elements except ID are optional and can be left out, including the slashes, so most of the time you need only specify ID. Any part left out will be matched against what is in the remote, and if there are multiple matches an error message will list the alternatives. By default this looks for both apps and runtime with the given REF in the specified REMOTE, but you can limit this by using the --app or --runtime option, or by supplying the initial element in the REF. The alternative form of the command ([--from], [--bundle] or [--oci]) allows you to install directly from a source such as a .flatpak single-file bundle, a .flatpakref app description or an OCI registry. The options are optional if the first argument have the right extension. 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 or the --installation option, this command installs the application or runtime in the default system-wide installation.OPTIONS¶
The following options are understood: -h, --helpShow help options and exit.
--bundle
Assume LOCATION is a .flatpak single-bundle file. This is
optional if the arguments ends with .flatpak.
--from
Assume LOCATION is a .flatpakref file containing the
details of the app to be installed. This is optional if the arguments ends
with .flatpakref.
--oci
Install from a oci registry with a given uri and
optionally a tag (defaults to latest).
--user
Install the application or runtime in a per-user
installation.
--system
Install the application or runtime in the default
system-wide installation.
--installation=NAME
Install the application or runtime in a system-wide
installation specified by NAME among those defined in
/etc/flatpak/installations.d. Using --installation=default is equivalent to
using --system.
--arch=ARCH
The default architecture to install for, if not given
explicitly in the REF.
--subpath=PATH
Install only a subpath of the ref. This is mainly used to
install a subset of locales. This can be added multiple times to install
multiple subpaths.,
--no-deploy
Download the latest version, but don't deploy it.
--no-pull
Don't download the latest version, deploy whatever is
locally available.
--no-related
Don't download related extensions, such as the locale
data.
--no-deps
Don't verify runtime dependencies when installing.
--app
Assume that all REFs are apps if not explicitly
specified.
--runtime
Assume that all REFs are runtimes if not explicitly
specified.
-v, --verbose
Print debug information during command processing.
--ostree-verbose
Print OSTree debug information during command
processing.
--version
Print version information and exit.
