Linux Flatpak package of vimix
================================
## Prerequirement: install flatpak
Instructions are at https://flatpak.org/setup/
e.g. for Ubuntu:
sudo apt install flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
## Install vimix releases from Flathub
If you followed all instructions of the [flatpak setup](https://flatpak.org/setup/), vimix should be in the list of packages.
flatpak install vimix
Get info on the Flathub release [here](https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.brunoherbelin.Vimix).
## Build local beta flatpack package of vimix
If you want to have the latest developper version of vimix (before releases), you can build a vimix flatpak yourself. This way, the application vimix is still sandboxed (i.e. not installing libs in your system), removable (entirely free space after remove) and updatable (just re-compile to update).
#### 1. Install flatpak build environments
If not already installed, install the builder and the flathub repository:
sudo apt install flatpak-builder
Install the runtime environments:
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/25.08
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/25.08
These settings of git are needed to enable clone of local repos during build (done only once):
git config --global --add protocol.file.allow always
#### 2. Build vimix flatpak
Launch the build of the flatpak:
flatpak-builder --user --install --from-git=https://github.com/brunoherbelin/vimix.git --from-git-branch=beta --delete-build-dirs --force-clean build flatpak/io.github.brunoherbelin.Vimix.json
The build will be quite long as some dependencies are also re-build from source. However, the build of dependencies is kept in cache; rebuilding vimix will subsequently be much faster.
If all goes well, the build should end with
...
Installing app/io.github.brunoherbelin.Vimix/x86_64/master
Pruning cache
#### Troubleshooting build
For a clean rebuild, remove the `.flatpak-builder` folder from where you run the flatpak-builder command;
rm -fr .flatpak-builder/
Make sure your version of flatpak-builder is >= 1.4.4. If not, you might upgrade it with;
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:flatpak/stable -y
sudo apt install flatpak-builder
## Run vimix flatpak
If all goes well, the package will have been installed and be able to run. The vimix app icon should be available.
To run from command line:
flatpak run io.github.brunoherbelin.Vimix
## Uninstall vimix flatpak
flatpak uninstall vimix
## Troubleshooting
Outdated flatpack drivers can cause vimix to fail. Keep your flatpak up to date;
flatpak update
