Flatpak is a cross-Linux-distro deployment system commonly used for packaging desktop applications.
|
|
|

* Options
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flatpak has a similar interface to Git being composed of subcommands with specific options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- =-v, --verbose= - just print more information
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the query-related subcommands (e.g., =search=, =list=) has the following options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- =--columns=${COLUMNS}= - print the columns listed; useful for extracting the information you want
|
|
|
|
|
you can find the related fields from the respective manual page

* Examples
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flatpak has a lot of stuff so we'll bring some examples to get started.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Basic usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or at least how I think it would be for a starting user.

#+begin_src shell
|
|
|
|
|
flatpak search ferdi
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
flatpak install ferdi
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
flatpak uninstall ferdi
|
|
|
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Package installation interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[id:4eb1f8b1-bc12-4a6c-8fa4-20e4c3542cf2][fzf]] is the star here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src shell
|
|
|
|
|
flatpak search ${QUERY} --columns=application \
|
|
|
|
|
| fzf --multi --prompt "Choose Flatpak package(s) to install > " \
|
|
|
|
|
| xargs --replace="{}" flatpak install --noninteractive {}
|
|
|
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Package uninstallation interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If there's one for installing packages, there's also one for removing them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src shell
|
|
|
|
|
flatpak list ${QUERY} --columns=application \
|
|
|
|
|
| fzf --multi --prompt "Choose Flatpak package(s) to remove > " \
|
|
|
|
|
| xargs --replace="{}" flatpak uninstall --noninteractive {}
|
|
|
|
|
#+end_src
|
