+
+ <para>
+ Installs an application or runtime. <arg choice="plain">REMOTE</arg> must name
+ an existing remote and <arg choice="plain">NAME</arg> is the name of the
+ application or runtime to install. Optionally, <arg choice="plain">BRANCH</arg> can
+ be specified to install a branch other than the default "master" branch.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ By default this looks for both apps and runtime with the given <arg choice="plain">NAME</arg> in
+ the specified <arg choice="plain">REMOTE</arg>, but you can limit this by using the --app or --runtime option.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Note that flatpak allows 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 instead of a configured remote. Such bundles can
+ be created with the flatpak build-bundle command.
