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 branch. This required
if there are multiple matches in the selected remote.
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 flatpak allows one 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 flatpak build-bundle command.
