        <title>Description</title>

        <para>
            Installs an application or runtime. <arg choice="plain">REMOTE</arg> must name
            an existing remote and <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> is a reference to the
            application or runtime to install.
        </para>
        <para>
            Each <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> 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 in the remote, and if there are multiple matches an error message
            will list the alternatives.
        </para>
        <para>
            By default this looks for both apps and runtime with the given <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> in
            the specified <arg choice="plain">REMOTE</arg>, but you can limit this by using the --app or
            --runtime option, or by supplying the initial element in the REF.
        </para>
        <para>
            Note that flatpak allows one to have multiple branches of an application and runtimes
            installed and used at the same time. However, only version of an application one can be current,
            meaning its exported files (for instance desktop files and icons) are
            visible to the host. The last installed version is made current by
            default, but you can manually change with make-current.
        </para>
        <para>
            Unless overridden with the --user option, this command creates a
            system-wide installation.
        </para>
        <para>
            The alternative form of the command installs an application from a
            single-file bundle or a flatpakref file instead of a configured remote.
            Bundles can be created with the flatpak build-bundle command, flatpakref
            files are simple references to a remote repo for an application.
