<para>
|
||||
Flatpak uses flatpakref files to share information about a remote for
|
||||
a single application. The <filename>flatpakref</filename> file contains
|
||||
enough information to add the remote and install the application.
|
||||
Use the <command>flatpak install --from</command> command to do so.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The filename extension commonly used for flatpakref files is <filename>.flatpakref</filename>.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
A flatpakref file can also refer to a remote for a runtime.

systemd unit files or application .desktop files.
