Raspberry Pi OS Quick Setup

Follow these simple steps to start using Flatpak

  1. Install Flatpak

    A flatpak package is available in Raspberry Pi OS (previously called Raspbian) Stretch and newer. To install it, run the following as root:

    sudo apt install flatpak

  2. Add the Flathub repository

    Flathub is the best place to get Flatpak apps. To enable it, run:

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

    Important note: It is recommended to use Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit as newer applications are more likely to be available for that platform only.

  3. Restart

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

    Note: graphical installation of Flatpak apps may not be possible with Raspberry Pi OS.
