After the repository installation process is complete, the window will be updated to show a “Remove" button in place of the “Install” button.
Alternatively, you can use the following command from the terminal:
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Installing Flatpak apps from Flathub
Once the Flathub repository has been setup, it can be used to install Flatpak apps. This can be done directly from the {update-application} application, or apps can be browsed on the https://flathub.org/home[Flathub website].
If you choose to install apps from the Flathub website, clicking "Install" will download a file which will be opened by the {update-application} application, which can then be used to install the app. For example, to install https://www.libreoffice.org/[LibreOffice], you first search for and open the LibreOffice page, and then press the “Install” button.
After clicking the “Install” button, a download information window will be shown. Verify the correct Flatpak has been downloaded and then click on the “OK” button to begin installing the LibreOffice application.
LibreOffice Flatpak download

Once the Flatpak is downloaded, the {update-application} application will open a new window with an “Install” button. Click this button to begin installation.
Alternatively, each application on flathub.org can be installed through the terminal by running the installation command at the bottom of the page that should look something like this:
$ flatpak install flathub <package-name>
As an example, Firefox can be installed by running the following command which can be found on Firefox's flathub page:
$ flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.firefox
Flatpak command line
Additional details about the flatpak command line interface can be found in the official http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/using-flatpak.html[Flatpak documentation].
Package layering
Package layering works by modifying your {variant-name} installation. As the name implies, it works by extending the packages from which {variant-name} is composed.
Good examples of packages to be layered would be:
`fish`: An alternative Unix shell
`sway`: A Wayland tiling compositor
`libvirt`: The libvirt daemon
Most (but not all) RPM packages provided by Fedora can be installed on {variant-name} using this method.
Currently, using package layering creates a new "deployment", or bootable filesystem root. It does not affect your current root. This preserves rollback and the transactional model, but means that the system must be rebooted after a package has been layered or updated. You can alternatively use `rpm-ostree install --apply-live <pkg>` to also temporarily apply the change directly to your currently booted deployment. It's generally expected that you use package layering sparingly, and use `flatpak` and `dnf install` inside a `toolbox` etc.
Package layering is generally done from the command line. However, the Software application does rely on it for installing a small number of apps that are currently difficult to install as Flatpaks.
