flatpak-update(1)

NAME

   flatpak-update - Update an application or runtime

SYNOPSIS

   flatpak update [OPTION...] [REF...]

DESCRIPTION

   Updates applications and runtimes.  REF is a reference to the
   application or runtime to install. If no REF is given, everything is
   updated.

   Each REF arguments is a full or partial indentifier 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 runtime with the given REF in
   the specified REMOTE, 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.

   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.

   Unless overridden with the --user or the --installation option, this
   command updates the default system-wide installation.

OPTIONS

   The following options are understood:

   -h, --help
       Show help options and exit.

   --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.

   --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.

   --no-deploy
       Download the latest version, but don't deploy it.

   --no-pull
       Don't download the latest version, deploy it 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 the remote.

   --runtime
       Only look for an runtime with the given name.

   -v, --verbose
       Print debug information during command processing.

   --ostree-verbose
       Print OSTree debug information during command processing.

   --version
       Print version information and exit.

EXAMPLES

   $ flatpak --user update org.gnome.GEdit
