Use Flatpak\* to install applications on |CLOSIA|

#################################################
|
||
|
||
This tutorial provides all the required steps to install Flatpak as well as
|
||
downloading, installing, and running LibreOffice on |CL|.
|
||
|
||
Please visit the `Flatpak website`_ for more information about Flatpak and
|
||
how to use it.
|
||
|
||
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 tutorial<bare-metal-install>`.
|
||
|
||
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:: console
|
||
|
||
$ 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 Clear Linux.
|
||
Flatpak provides a `list of applications`_ available through Flatpak.
|
||
|
||
Download and install the Latest LibreOffice Flatpak
|
||
---------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
To get the latest version of the LibreOffice Flatpak repository, either
|
||
`download it here`_ or you can enter the following command:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ curl –O -L http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/flatpak/latest/LibreOffice.flatpak
|
||
|
||
The command downloads the latest LibreOffice.flatpak and saves it in your
|
||
current directory.
|
||
|
||
Once the download is complete, the next step is to install LibreOffice along
|
||
with the runtime environment LibreOffice needs to execute. As mentioned on
|
||
the `Flatpak website`_, with the release of Flatpak 0.8.0 and
|
||
LibreOffice.flatpak 4.2.4, you no longer have to specifically install the
|
||
runtime required to execute LibreOffice since it will automatically install
|
||
the runtime referenced in the LibreOffice.flatpak file.
|
||
|
||
To install LibreOffice run the following command:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ sudo flatpak install --bundle LibreOffice.flatpak
|
||
|
||
The output from this command will look similar to the following.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
You will be prompted to install the runtime environment if it is not
|
||
already installed. Type :kbd:`y` to allow this task to execute.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.
|
||
Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.

||
LibreOffice with the following command from the command line:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ flatpak run org.libreoffice.LibreOffice
|
||
|
||
Add LibreOffice to your Gnome desktop
|
||
=====================================
|
||
A new icon will appear in your Gnome applications list titled :guilabel:`LibreOffice.` To
|
||
execute the application, highlight the application and click on the :guilabel:`LibreOffice` icon.
|
||
LibreOffice will start normally.
