All right, next step is to manage Flatpak applications.
How do you do that?
Well, common commands are Flatpak search,
which will find applications in the remotes.
And to perform the search, a remote metadata
is updated daily.
Flatpak install is used to install the applications found.
And if an application was found in multiple remotes,
you'll be prompted which one to install.
Flatpak list will show applications
that are currently installed.
Flatpak info requests information
about specific applications.
And Flatpak update updates an application.
If you want to make sure that an application doesn't
get updated, you use Flatpak mask.
And Flatpak mask remove if you want to remove the mask again.
And Flatpak uninstall will delete the application.
And if you don't want to keep the data,
add minus minus delete data to it.
Let me give you a quick demo on how you can
install applications with Flatpak.
So let me use Flatpak remote add minus minus if not exists.
Fedora OCI plus HTTPS colon slash slash registry
dot fedoraproject dot org.
And now I can use commands like Flatpak search to GIMP,
the graphic image manipulation program.
All right, so here we can see the result of the Flatpak
search command.
By times, it might be a little bit slow.
So be patient.
If it takes a while, it will get there ultimately.
And once you see your packages, you
can install it using Flatpak install, GIMP in this case.
Then it's asking, where do you want to install it from?
Well, I want to install it from Fedora.
And user's reference, yes, I want to use this reference.
And I want to run it.
So let's go there.
And yes, I'm OK with these changes.
So here we can see the different run times
that are required for this package to be installed.
And in the end, once it's there, you
will have your Flatpak installed.
And you will be ready to use GIMP just the way
like you use any other application.
All right, now that the application is installed,
in Flatpak, it's mostly about graphical applications.
So let's see if we can find him by going to the menu
and clicking the three dots.
And look at that.
There is the GIMP application.
So you're welcome to start using it.
Now, is this something you want to do on a server?
I don't think so.
But hey, as I told you, Flatpak is mainly
about desktop applications.
And this is how you can use it.
