# Flatpak {#module-services-flatpak}
*Source:* {file}`modules/services/desktop/flatpak.nix`
*Upstream documentation:* <https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki>
Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop
applications on Linux.
To enable Flatpak, add the following to your {file}`configuration.nix`:
```
services.flatpak.enable = true;
```
For the sandboxed apps to work correctly, desktop integration portals need to
be installed. If you run GNOME, this will be handled automatically for you;
in other cases, you will need to add something like the following to your
{file}`configuration.nix`:
```
xdg.portal.extraPortals = [ pkgs.xdg-desktop-portal-gtk ];
```
Then, you will need to add a repository, for example,
[Flathub](https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki),
either using the following commands:
```ShellSession
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
$ flatpak update
```
or by opening the
[repository file](https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo) in GNOME Software.
Finally, you can search and install programs:
```ShellSession
$ flatpak search bustle
$ flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Bustle
$ flatpak run org.freedesktop.Bustle
```
Again, GNOME Software offers graphical interface for these tasks.
