xdg-app Developer Alexander Larsson alexl@redhat.com xdg-app 1 xdg-app Build, install and run applications and runtimes xdg-app OPTION COMMAND xdg-app is a tool for managing applications and the runtimes they use. In the xdg-app model, applications can be built and distributed independently from the host system they are used on, and they are isolated from the host system ('sandboxed') to some degree, at runtime. xdg-app can operate in system-wide or per-user mode. The system-wide data (runtimes, applications and configuration) is located in $prefix/share/xdg-app/, and the per-user data is in $HOME/.local/share/xdg-app/. Below these locations, there is a local repository in the repo/ subdirectory and installed runtimes and applications are in the corresponding runtime/ and app/ subdirectories. xdg-app uses OSTree to distribute and deploy data. The repositories it uses are OSTree repositories and can be manipulated with the ostree utility. Installed runtimes and applications are OSTree checkouts. The following options are understood: -h --help Show help options and exit. -v --verbose Print debug information during command processing. --version Print version information and exit.
