flatpak-builder: Build a Flatpak and export it to a new repository.

flatpak-builder

$ flatpak-builder ${path-to-build_directory} ${path-to-manifest}

try on your machine

The command flatpak-builder is used to build an application bundle using Flatpak. Flatpak is a technology for building and distributing desktop applications on various Linux distributions.

In the given command, ${path-to-build_directory} is the path to the directory where the application bundle will be built. The application bundle contains all the necessary files and dependencies required to run the application.

${path-to-manifest} is the path to the Flatpak manifest file, which describes the application and its dependencies. The manifest file specifies various details such as the application ID, runtime version, modules, sources, etc., required for building the application bundle.

When you execute this command, Flatpak-builder reads the manifest file and builds the application bundle in the specified build directory. It automatically fetches the necessary source code, compiles it, resolves dependencies, and creates the final application bundle.

Note: The ${path-to-build_directory} and ${path-to-manifest} variables need to be replaced with the actual paths on your system.
