reboot

Enable Flathub for Bottles Installation

To proceed with the installation of Bottles, enable Flathub repository with the following command:

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Finally, install Bottles using Flatpak. Run the command below in your terminal:

flatpak install flathub com.usebottles.bottles -y

Launch Bottles from the command line or through the GUI

flatpak run com.usebottles.bottles

This command instantly activates Bottles, providing immediate access to its features. Using the command line for launching applications like Bottles is a direct approach many users favor for its speed and simplicity.

For those who prefer a graphical user interface (GUI), Bottles can be launched without using the command line. Follow these steps to open Bottles through the GUI:

• Click on Activities at the top left corner of your screen.
• Select Show Applications to view a list of all installed applications.
• Scroll to find and click on the Bottles application icon.
