# Notice
31+
32+
Some of these packages (other than the flatpak) may be outdated as they are not controlled by PolyMC. If you're having trouble getting PolyMC getting installed you can ask for support in one of the places listed in the ["get involved" section of the main page](../../#get-involved).

# Flatpak
35+
36+
We have a flatpak package that you can install by downloading and then using the `flatpak install` command: [PolyMC-{{version.current}}.flatpak](https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/releases/download/{{version.current}}/PolyMC-{{version.current}}.flatpak)
37+
38+
You need to run these commands in a terminal (on Steam Deck, that's Konsole)
39+
40+
```bash
41+
# Download the file
42+
curl -O https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/releases/download/{{version.current}}/PolyMC-{{version.current}}.flatpak
43+
44+
# For a per-user install:
45+
flatpak install --user PolyMC-{{version.current}}.flatpak
46+
47+
# Alternatively, for a system-wide install:
48+
flatpak install --system PolyMC-{{version.current}}.flatpak
49+
50+
# (Optional) delete the file now that it's been installed:
51+
rm PolyMC-{{version.current}}.flatpak
52+
```
