Warehouse, the popular Flatpak app management software, released new 2.1.0 version today!

Warehouse is a free open-source application that provides a simple user interface to manage all installed Flatpak apps. With it, you may view app info, change app version (upgrade/downgrade), manage user data and left overs.

The app also supports installing / uninstalling Flatpak apps and remote repositories. Previously, user needs to launch Warehouse, navigate to “Install Packages”, then click “Open Files” to choose & install via local Flatpak (.flatpakrepo) file.

Since the new 2.1.0, installing local Flatpak is more simple! Just open Downloads folder, double-click or right-click and select “Open With Warehouse” option for the .flatpakrel file, then it launches the app and opens the dialog to install the Flatpak app.

Not only for local Flatpak, it also works for bundles and repository files.

The release also updated the keywords in its desktop entry file. Now, searching apps, packages, remotes, or snapshots in app launcher (e.g., GNOME overview, app grid) will also include warehouse in the result.

Other changes include update GNOME runtime to the latest version 48, translation updates, and bug-fixes.

How to Install Warehouse

Warehouse itself is available to install as a Flatpak package for most Linux on amd64 (AMD/Intel) and arm64 (e.g., Raspberry Pi) platforms.

Linux Mint 21/22 and Fedora Workstation (with 3rd party repository enabled) may search & install the package from either Software Manager or GNOME Software.

While Debian and Ubuntu may run the commands below one by one to install:

• First, open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run command to make sure you have the flatpak daemon installed:
