fdroid: Install the app on every connected device.
$ fdroid install ${app_id}
try on your machine

The command "fdroid install ${app_id}" is used to install an application from the F-Droid repository on an Android device.

Here is how each part of the command works:

  • "fdroid" is the command-line tool for the F-Droid repository. It allows you to search for and manage the installation and updates of apps available on F-Droid.
  • "install" is an argument for the "fdroid" command, specifying that we want to install an application.
  • "${app_id}" is a placeholder for the unique identifier of the application you want to install. You need to replace "${app_id}" with the actual ID of the application you want to install. For example, if the ID of the application is "org.fdroid.app", the command would be "fdroid install org.fdroid.app".

By running this command, the F-Droid tool will connect to the F-Droid repository, search for the specified app ID, download the application package (APK file), and install it on your Android device.
