Use Flatpak\* to install applications on |CL-ATTR|
##################################################
This tutorial provides all the required steps to install Flatpak as well as
downloading, installing, and running LibreOffice\* on |CL-ATTR|.
Please visit the `Flatpak website`_ for more information about Flatpak and
how to use it. You can also `download it here`_.
Before you begin
****************
This tutorial assumes you have installed |CL| on your host system.
For detailed instructions on installing |CL| on a bare metal system, visit
our :ref:`bare metal installation guide <bare-metal-install-desktop>`.
Install Flatpak on your host system
===================================
Flatpak is included as part of the bundle `desktop`. To install the
application, log in to your user account and enter the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo swupd bundle-add desktop
Install and run the LibreOffice Flatpak image
=============================================
Application developers have the option to bundle their applications using
Flatpak to allow the installation of a single distribution of their
application on different distributions of Linux, including |CL|.
Flatpak provides a `list of applications`_ available through Flathub.
|CL| enables the Flathub repository by default.
Installing using gnome software
-------------------------------
All you need to do is to launch `gnome software`, search for the LibreOffice
app, and click the install button.
