What is it?
----------

This is a Flatpak release of (X)MedCon. It can run in 'any' linux flavour where Flatpak is set up on x86_64 hardware.


How to setup Flatpak?
--------------------

Follow the instructions for your specific distribution as found on 'http://flatpak.org/setup'.


What to install?
---------------

Next you need to install the necessary 'runtime' Freedesktop Platform version 20.08 from flathub's repository.

	# flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform//21.O8

Now you are ready to install '(X)MedCon' single-file flatpak (as user):

	$> flatpak install XMedCon-x86_64.flatpak


How to check?
------------

The following command should list (X)MedCon too.

	$> flatpak list


How to run?
----------

You can now run (X)MedCon's GUI or CLI from within its Flatpak sandbox; CaSe SEnsiTive here!

	$> flatpak run --command=bash net.sf.XMedCon.xmedcon

This will open a command shell from where you can run 'xmedcon' or 'medcon' as usual.

Do note that this is a sandboxed environment, so restrictions apply to system directories, available bin utils, ...


What more?
---------

If you have some colour LUT files installed somewhere, you can specify their location as follows:

	$> flatpak run --env=XMEDCONLUT=/path/to/luts --command=bash net.sf.XMedCon.xmedcon


Have fun,
Erik
