FLATPAK UPDATE(1) flatpak update FLATPAK UPDATE(1)
NAME
flatpak-update - Update an application or runtime
SYNOPSIS
flatpak update [OPTION...] [REF...]
flatpak update [OPTION...] --appstream [REMOTE]
DESCRIPTION
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.
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 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.
EXAMPLES
$ flatpak --user update org.gnome.gedit
