NAME

flatpak-make-current - Make a specific version of an app current

SYNOPSIS

flatpak make-current [OPTION…] APP BRANCH

DESCRIPTION

Makes a particular branch of an application current. Only the current branch of an app has its exported files (such as desktop files and icons) made visible to the host.

When a new branch is installed it will automatically be made current, so this command is often not needed.

Unless overridden with the –user or –installation options, this command changes the default system-wide installation.

OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

-h, –help

Show help options and exit.

-u, –user

Update a per-user installation.

–system

Update the default system-wide installation.

–installation=NAME

Updates a system-wide installation specified by NAME among those defined in etc/flatpak/installations.d. Using –installation=default is equivalent to using –system.

–arch=ARCH

The architecture to make current for. See flatpak –supported-arches for architectures supported by the host.

-v, –verbose

Print debug information during command processing.

–ostree-verbose

Print OSTree debug information during command processing.

EXAMPLES

$ flatpak –user make-current org.gnome.gedit 3.14
