try on your machine

The command "flatpak-builder --run ${path-to-build_directory} ${path-to-manifest} ${sh}" is used for building and running a Flatpak application.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

flatpak-builder: This is the command used to build Flatpak applications.
--run: This is an option that specifies that the application should be executed after the build process. It allows you to test the application immediately.
${path-to-build_directory}: This is the path to the directory where the build artifacts will be generated. It specifies where the application will be built and installed.
${path-to-manifest}: This is the path to the Flatpak application manifest file. The manifest file contains information about the application, such as its name, description, runtime, and dependencies.
${sh}: This is a placeholder for the command that should be executed when running the application. It usually refers to the entry point script or binary of the application.

By running this command, Flatpak will build the application using the specified manifest file, and then execute the specified command to run the application.
