Kubuntu Quick Setup

Follow these simple steps to start using Flatpak

  1. Install Flatpak

    To install Flatpak on Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish), simply run:

    
          $ sudo apt install flatpak
        

    With older Kubuntu versions, the official Flatpak PPA is the recommended way to install Flatpak. To install it, run the following in a terminal:

    
          $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
          $ sudo apt update
          $ sudo apt install flatpak
        
  2. Install the Discover Flatpak backend

    The Flatpak plugin for the Software app makes it possible to install apps without needing the command line (available on Kubuntu 18.04 and newer). To install on 18.04, run:

    
          $ sudo apt install plasma-discover-flatpak-backend
        

    On Kubuntu 20.04 or later, you should run this instead:

    
          $ sudo apt install plasma-discover-backend-flatpak
        
  3. Add the Ramatak Inc. repository

    
          $ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
          $ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists ramatak https://download.ramatak.com/ramatak.flatpakrepo
        
  4. Restart
