I recently downloaded a Flatpak Epiphany package. However, there is no support on my distro for Flatpak. So is there a way to compile it from source?

I realize it was down voted, but if someone does not tell me what is wrong, it's quite useless, since I have no idea of what is wrong with it. Besides I want to do a similar topic for a similar package system (the one Ubuntu uses) and would be very benefice if someone explained it to me, as to allow me to do commit such mistake once more.user2752471– user27524712019-04-08 19:32:03 +00:00Commented Apr 8, 2019 at 19:32

What did you try, what kind of errors you see, what kind of commands you exec?Romeo Ninov– Romeo Ninov2019-04-10 08:34:56 +00:00Commented Apr 10, 2019 at 8:34

@Romeo Ninov. I downloaded the flatpak epiphany package from somewhere to see what is it. I opened it and saw that I had no idea of what to do with the flatpak file of the package. I started to look around on its website for the code but could not find it. Stephen Kitt pointed it for me and that is what I was looking for.user2752471– user27524712019-04-10 14:26:39 +00:00Commented Apr 10, 2019 at 14:26

The main Flatpak site doesn’t make this easy to find, but the Flatpak source code is available on GitHub and is built in a manner familiar to most Autotools-based projects:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak.git
cd flatpak
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
You’ll need a number of dependencies, which are detailed in the README.md file. You’ll also probably need to adjust some of the ./configure flags depending on your target environment.
You may also prefer to work from a release tarball instead of cloning the repository.
