xdg-app Developer Alexander Larsson alexl@redhat.com xdg-app install 1 xdg-app-install Install an application or runtime xdg-app install OPTION REMOTE NAME BRANCH xdg-app install OPTION --bundle FILENAME Installs an application or runtime. REMOTE must name an existing remote and NAME is the name of the application or runtime to install. Optionally, BRANCH can be specified to install a branch other than the default "master" branch. By default this looks for both apps and runtime with the given NAME in the specified REMOTE, but you can limit this by using the --app or --runtime option. Note that xdg-app allows to have multiple branches of an application and runtimes installed and used at the same time. However, only version of an application one can be current, meaning its exported files (for instance desktop files and icons) are visible to the host. The last installed version is made current by default, but you can manually change with make-current. Unless overridden with the --user option, this command creates a system-wide installation. The alternative form of the command installs an application from a single-file bundle instead of a configured remote. Such bundles can be created with the xdg-app build-bundle command. The following options are understood: -h --help Show help options and exit. --bundle Install from a bundle file instead of a configured remote. --user Create a per-user installation. --user Create a per-user installation. --system Create a system-wide installation. --arch=ARCH The architecture to install for. --subpath=PATH Install only a subpath of the ref. This is mainly used to install a subset of locales. This can be added multiple times to install multiple subpaths., --no-deploy Download the latest version, but don't deploy it. --no-pull Don't download the latest version, deploy it whatever is locally availiable. --app Only look for an app with the given name. --runtime Only look for an runtime with the given name. -v --verbose Print debug information during command processing. --version Print version information and exit. $ xdg-app --user install test-repo org.gnome.GEdit xdg-app1, xdg-app-update-app1, xdg-app-list-apps1, xdg-app-build-bundle1
