Save folks a few keystrokes. There is a command which already has a '-u' option, document-export, but it doesn't support --user so there should be no conflict. However '-s' is used by the info command among others, so we can't use that for --system.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Installs an application or runtime. The primary way to
|
|
install is to specify a <arg choice="plain">REMOTE</arg>
|
|
name as the source and one ore more <arg choice="plain">REF</arg>s to specify the
|
|
application or runtime to install. If <arg choice="plain">REMOTE</arg> is omitted,
|
|
the configured remotes are searched for the first <arg choice="plain">REF</arg>
|
|
and the user is asked to confirm the resulting choice.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Each <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> argument is a full or partial identifier 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 you will be
|
|
prompted to choose one of them. You will also be prompted with choices if
|
|
<arg choice="plain">REF</arg> doesn't match anything in the remote exactly but is
|
|
similar to one or more refs in the remote (e.g. "devhelp" is similar to
|
|
"org.gnome.Devhelp"), but this fuzzy matching behavior is disabled if
|
|
<arg choice="plain">REF</arg> contains any slashes or periods.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
By default this looks for both apps and runtimes with the given
|
|
<arg choice="plain">REF</arg> in the specified <arg choice="plain">REMOTE</arg>,
|
|
but you can limit this by using the <option>--app</option> or <option>--runtime</option>
|
|
option, or by supplying the initial element in the <arg choice="plain">REF</arg>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If <arg choice="plain">REMOTE</arg> is a uri or a path (absolute or relative starting
|
|
with ./) to a local repository, then that repository will be used as the source, and
|
|
a temporary remote will be created for the lifetime of the <arg choice="plain">REF</arg>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If the specified <arg choice="plain">REMOTE</arg> has a collection ID configured on it,
|
|
Flatpak will search the <filename>sideload-repos</filename> directories configured
|
|
either with the <option>--sideload-repo</option> option, or on a per-installation or
|
|
system-wide basis (see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>flatpak</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The alternative form of the command (with <option>--from</option> or
|
|
<option>--bundle</option>) allows to install directly from a source such as a
|
|
<filename>.flatpak</filename> single-file bundle or a <filename>.flatpakref</filename>
|
|
application description. The options are optional if the first argument has the expected
|
|
filename extension.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note that flatpak allows to have multiple branches of an application and runtimes
|
|
installed and used at the same time. However, only one version of an application
|
|
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
|
|
this can manually changed with flatpak make-current.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Unless overridden with the <option>--user</option> or the <option>--installation</option>
|
|
option, this command installs the application or runtime in the default system-wide
|
|
installation.
