# Flatpak
|
|
|
|
Flatpak is a cross-distribution package manager for linux systems.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
The `flatpak` package can be installed by most distribution specific package
|
|
managers (e.g. [pacman or yay](./arch-linux/pacman_and_yay.md)).
|
|
After installation it is important to add [flathub](https://flathub.org/home),
|
|
a source for many flatpak packages.
|
|
The addition of this can be done by running
|
|
`flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo`.
|
|
|
|
## Installing software
|
|
|
|
When software installation is done with Flatpak it is recommended to pass the
|
|
`--user` so the software is not installed system-wide but for the user only.
|
|
In practice it looks like the following:
|
|
`flatpak install --user <package to install>`.
|
|
|
|
## Running software
|
|
|
|
Software installed via flatpak can be run by typing the full package path into
|
|
the command line, for example `com.makemkv.MakeMKV`.
