Slackware Quick Setup

Follow these simple steps to start using Flatpak

  1. Install Flatpak

    A Flatpak package is available on SlackBuilds. To install it (assuming you use Sbopkg/sqg), first create the queuefile and run the following as root:

    sqg -p flatpak

    Then compile it. Load the queuefile, press 'Q', and wait:

    sbopkg -i 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

  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 Slackware.
