Alpine Quick Setup

Follow these simple steps to start using Flatpak

  1. Install Flatpak

    Flatpak can be installed from the community repository. Run the following in a terminal:

    doas apk add flatpak

  2. Install the Software Flatpak plugin

    You can install the Flatpak plugin for either the GNOME Software (since v3.13) or KDE Discover (since v3.11), making it possible to install apps without needing the command line. To install, for GNOME Software run:

    doas apk add gnome-software-plugin-flatpak

    For KDE Discover run:

    doas apk add discover-backend-flatpak

  3. Add the Flathub repository

    Flathub is the best place to get Flatpak apps. To enable it, download and install the Flathub repository file or run the following in a terminal:

    flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

  4. Restart

    To complete the setup, restart your system. Now all you have to do is install some apps!
