6 flatpak-update - Update an application or runtime

9 flatpak update [OPTION...] [REF...]
10 flatpak update [OPTION...] --appstream [REMOTE]
12
14 Updates applications and runtimes. REF is a reference to the
15 application or runtime to update. If no REF is given, everything is
16 updated, as well as appstream info for all remotes.
17 Each REF argument is a full or partial indentifier in the flatpak ref
19 format, which looks like "(app|runtime)/ID/ARCH/BRANCH". All elements
20 except ID are optional and can be left out, including the slashes, so
21 most of the time you need only specify ID. Any part left out will be
22 matched against what is installed, and if there are multiple matches an
23 error message will list the alternatives.
24 By default this looks for both apps and runtimes with the given REF,
26 but you can limit this by using the --app or --runtime option, or by
27 supplying the initial element in the REF.
28 Normally, this command updates the application to the tip of its
30 branch. But it is possible to check out another commit, with the
31 --commit option.
32 If the configured remote for a ref being updated has a collection ID
34 configured on it, flatpak will search mounted filesystems such as USB
35 drives as well as Avahi services advertised on the local network for
36 the needed refs, in order to support offline updates. See ostree-find-
37 remotes(1) for more information.
38 Note that updating a runtime is different from installing a different
40 branch, and runtime updates are expected to keep strict compatibility.
41 If an application update does cause a problem, it is possible to go
42 back to the previous version, with the --commit option.
43 Unless overridden with the --user, --system or --installation option,
45 this command updates any matching refs in the standard system-wide
46 installation and the per-user one.
47
49 The following options are understood:
50 -h, --help
52 Show help options and exit.
53 --user
55 Update a per-user installation.
56 --system
58 Update the default system-wide installation.
59 --installation=NAME
61 Updates a system-wide installation specified by NAME among those
62 defined in /etc/flatpak/installations.d/. Using
63 --installation=default is equivalent to using --system.
64 --arch=ARCH
66 The architecture to update for.
67 --subpath=PATH
69 Install only a subpath of the ref. This is mainly used to install a
70 subset of locales. This can be added multiple times to install
71 multiple subpaths. If this is not specified the subpaths specified
72 at install time are reused.
73 --commit=COMMIT
75 Update to this commit, instead of the tip of the branch. You can
76 find commits using flatpak remote-info --log REMOTE REF.
77 --no-deploy
79 Download the latest version, but don't deploy it.
80 --no-pull
82 Don't download the latest version, deploy whatever is locally
83 available.
84 --no-related
86 Don't download related extensions, such as the locale data.
87 --no-deps
89 Don't update or install runtime dependencies when installing.
90 --app
92 Only look for an app with the given name.
93 --appstream
95 Update appstream for REMOTE, or all remotes if no remote is
96 specified.
97 --runtime
99 Only look for a runtime with the given name.
100 -y, --assumeyes
102 Automatically answer yes to all questions (or pick the most
103 prioritized answer). This is useful for automation.
104 --force-remove
106 Remove old files even if they're in use by a running application.
107 -v, --verbose
109 Print debug information during command processing.
110 --ostree-verbose
112 Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
