The command flatpak-builder --install ${path-to-build_directory} ${path-to-manifest} is used to build and install applications using Flatpak.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• flatpak-builder: This is the command itself, which is used to build and install Flatpak applications.
• --install: This option tells Flatpak to install the application after building it.
• ${path-to-build_directory}: This is the path to the directory where the build artifacts will be generated. It can be a new or existing directory. The build artifacts include the application's binaries, libraries, and other files.
• ${path-to-manifest}: This is the path to the manifest file, which describes how the application is built and packaged. The manifest file typically has a .json extension and contains information such as the application's name, version, dependencies, and build commands.

When you run this command, Flatpak will read the manifest file and use it to build the application in the specified build directory. Once the build is complete, Flatpak will install the application on your system, making it available for use.
