flatpak: Install an application from a remote source.

flatpak

$ flatpak install ${remote} ${name}

try on your machine

The command "flatpak install ${remote} ${name}" is a command related to the Flatpak software distribution framework.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"flatpak" is the command-line utility used to manage and install Flatpak applications. It is usually pre-installed on most Linux distributions with Flatpak support.
"install" is one of the subcommands of the Flatpak utility. It is used to install Flatpak applications on a system.
"${remote}" is a placeholder representing the remote repository from which the Flatpak application will be installed. A remote repository is a collection of Flatpak application bundles hosted on a server. Examples of remote repositories include Flathub, GNOME Software, etc. In reality, you would replace "${remote}" with the actual name of the remote repository you want to use.
"${name}" is another placeholder representing the name of the Flatpak application you want to install. Replace "${name}" with the actual name of the Flatpak application you want to install. This name corresponds to the Flatpak application bundle available in the specified remote repository.

To use this command effectively, you need to substitute "${remote}" with the name of a remote repository and "${name}" with the name of the Flatpak application you want to install. For example, if you want to install an application named "org.gimp.GIMP" from the Flathub repository, you would use the following command:

"flatpak install flathub org.gimp.GIMP"

This command would then proceed to download and install the specified Flatpak application from the Flathub repository onto your system.
