نگاه کلّی

Flatpak is a distro independent method for packaging and distributing Linux software.


Using software distributed by Flatpak has a couple of distinct advantages:

  • Software that is not compatible with current system libraries will still work when packaged as a Flatpak
  • Delta upgrades make upgrades more network efficient in the long-term


There are some other considerations to be aware of:

  • Flatpaks are not updated as part of your system updates, they must be updated separately
  • Only themes that have been ported to Flatpak will work with Flatpaks
  • A large set of shared runtimes will need to be installed to use Flatpaks


Installing Flatpak

Flatpak is available in the Manjaro repos as flatpak, with libpamac-flatpak-plugin for support in the pamac GUI and can be installed with your favorite package manager or using the command


user $ pamac install flatpak libpamac-flatpak-plugin COPY TO CLIPBOARD

Managing Flatpaks via the CLI

Finding and Installing Flatpaks

You can use the command flatpak search to search for available Flatpaks. For example, if you wanted to install VLC here is what it might look like:

user $ flatpak search vlc COPY TO CLIPBOARD

VLC                                                 VLC media player, the open-source multimedia player                        org.videolan.VLC                                                  stable               flathub
FDK-AAC Encoding Plugin for VLC                     Provides better AAC encoding and HE profiles support.                      org.videolan.VLC.Plugin.fdkaac                                    3-1.6                flathub
