Running Two different Files versions at the same time!

Because on my previous video (that you must watch anyway!!)I didn’t make it quite clear how that works and people were asking me for troubleshooting, so here we go again!

First make sure you have at least Flatpak 0.11.7

$ flatpak --version
Flatpak 0.11.7

Then add all necessary remotes

$ flatpak remote-add flathub \
https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
---
$ flatpak remote-add gnome-apps-nightly \
https://sdk.gnome.org/gnome-apps-nightly.flatpakrepo
---
$ flatpak remote-add gnome-nightly \
https://sdk.gnome.org/gnome-nightly.flatpakrepo

Then go to GNOME Files Gitlab and download Flatpak

Unzip artifacts.zip and then you can double click to install it with GNOME Software, but preferably (to get more info) use terminal and do

$ flatpak install nautilus-dev.flatpak

Or you can use Flatpak search

$ flatpak search nautilus

And install the development version

$ flatpak install gnome-apps-nightly org.gnome.NautilusDev

Enjoy the AMAZING FLATPAK & GNOME!
