Install Flatpak and Flathub as a Software Store

Follow these simple steps to start using Flatpak as a Software Store on AnduinOS.

1. Install Flatpak

To install Flatpak on AnduinOS, simply run:

sudo apt install flatpak

The Flatpak plugin for the Software app makes it possible to install apps without needing the command line. To install, run:

sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak

Flathub is the best place to get Flatpak apps. To enable it, run:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

To complete setup, restart your system. Now all you have to do is install some apps!

For some regions, like China mainland, you may want to switch the source to a mirror. You can do this by running:

Switch Flathub Source to a Mirror

sudo flatpak remote-modify flathub --url=https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/flathub

To view current mirror you are using, run:

View Current Flathub Mirror

flatpak remotes --columns=name,url

The output will be similar to:

Name    URL
flathub https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/flathub

To revert to the original Flathub source, run:

Revert to Original Flathub Source

sudo flatpak remote-modify flathub --url=https://dl.flathub.org/repo

To refresh the list of apps, run:

Refresh Flathub Apps

flatpak remote-ls flathub
