FLATPAK UPDATE(1) flatpak update FLATPAK UPDATE(1)
flatpak-update - Update an application or runtime
flatpak update [OPTION...] [REF...]
flatpak update [OPTION...] --appstream [REMOTE]
Updates applications and runtimes. REF is a reference to the
application or runtime to update. If no REF is given, everything
is updated, as well as appstream info for all remotes.
Each REF argument is a full or partial identifier in the flatpak
ref format, which looks like "(app|runtime)/ID/ARCH/BRANCH". All
elements except ID are optional and can be left out, including
the slashes, so most of the time you need only specify ID. Any
part left out will be matched against what is installed, and if
there are multiple matches an error message will list the
alternatives.
By default this looks for both apps and runtimes with the given
REF, but you can limit this by using the --app or --runtime
option, or by supplying the initial element in the REF.
Normally, this command updates the application to the tip of its
branch. But it is possible to check out another commit, with the
--commit option.
If the configured remote for a ref being updated has a collection
ID configured on it, Flatpak will search the sideload-repos
directories configured either with the --sideload-repo option, or
on a per-installation or system-wide basis (see flatpak(1)).
Note that updating a runtime is different from installing a
different branch, and runtime updates are expected to keep strict
compatibility. If an application update does cause a problem, it
is possible to go back to the previous version, with the --commit
option.
In addition to updates, this command will offer to uninstall any
unused end-of-life runtimes. Runtimes that were explicitly
installed (not as a dependency) or explicitly pinned (see
flatpak-pin(1)) are left installed even if unused and
end-of-life.
Unless overridden with the --user, --system or --installation
option, this command updates any matching refs in the standard
system-wide installation and the per-user one.
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 update for. See flatpak
--supported-arches for architectures supported by the host.
--subpath=PATH
Install only a subpath of the ref. This is mainly used to
install a subset of locales. This can be added multiple times
to install multiple subpaths. If this is not specified the
subpaths specified at install time are reused.
--commit=COMMIT
Update to this commit, instead of the tip of the branch. You
can find commits using flatpak remote-info --log REMOTE REF.
--no-deploy
Download the latest version, but don't deploy it.
--no-pull
Don't download the latest version, deploy whatever is locally
available.
--no-related
Don't download related extensions, such as the locale data.
--no-deps
Don't update or install runtime dependencies when installing.
--app
Only look for an app with the given name.
--appstream
Update appstream for REMOTE, or all remotes if no remote is
specified.
--runtime
Only look for a runtime with the given name.
--sideload-repo=PATH
Adds an extra local ostree repo as a source for installation.
This is equivalent to using the sideload-repos directories
(see flatpak(1)), but can be done on a per-command basis. Any
path added here is used in addition to ones in those
directories.
-y, --assumeyes
Automatically answer yes to all questions (or pick the most
prioritized answer). This is useful for automation.
--noninteractive
Produce minimal output and avoid most questions. This is
suitable for use in non-interactive situations, e.g. in a
build script.
--force-remove
Remove old files even if they're in use by a running
application.
-v, --verbose
Print debug information during command processing.
--ostree-verbose
Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
$ flatpak --user update org.gnome.gedit
