Install

flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists thepeoples \
  https://flatpak.thepeoples.io/thepeoples.flatpakrepo
flatpak --user install -y thepeoples io.thepeoples.Sparrow
flatpak --user install -y thepeoples io.thepeoples.Sparrow//2.5.5

Optional system install uses sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --system and sudo flatpak install -y --system. The //version form pins the advertised ostree branch; stable tracks the latest advertised tree.

Previous versions

The remote keeps the current tree plus the last two vendor versions as extra ostree branches for rollback. Objects stay on the remote after a branch is dropped (publish does not delete).

• Version 2.5.2 (ostree bcf6d1c648c98e6524e48143ff3b247c8b524441fe5419aed2c08909a4debbfe)

flatpak --user install -y thepeoples io.thepeoples.Sparrow//2.5.2

• Version 2.5.4 (ostree 1723e8f06ae3a0beea3cc0ae06ba41948bed5c9aed4fb7c62f666edb70dea5d9)

flatpak --user install -y thepeoples io.thepeoples.Sparrow//2.5.4

Hardware-wallet udev

The Flatpak cannot write host udev rules. After you install the app, run the helper that ships inside it. It vendor-verifies the same pinned tarball, rewrites rules to uaccess only, and installs them under /etc/udev/rules.d/. It does not add a plugdev group. It will ask for sudo.

sudo ~/.local/share/flatpak/app/io.thepeoples.Sparrow/current/active/files/bin/sparrow-udev

System install uses the same file under /var/lib/flatpak/app/io.thepeoples.Sparrow/current/active/files/bin/sparrow-udev. Read the script first at /flatpak/helpers/io.thepeoples.Sparrow.sh (sha256 f3c607a3905e334cb0498a250c70a75f7c7b320f12fdc8c9a068fed58f66dc03).
