Installation Process

We'll be using Flatpak to install the MEGA Desktop App. Flatpak is a next-generation technology for building and distributing desktop applications on Linux. It allows us to install the latest version of applications regardless of the Linux distribution we're using.

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

Step 2: Install the MEGA Desktop App

Now that we have the Flathub repository added, we can install the MEGA Desktop App with this command:

During the installation process, you may be prompted to confirm the installation. Simply type 'y' and press Enter when asked.

Launching the App

After the installation is complete, you can launch the MEGA Desktop App from your application menu. Look for "MEGAsync" in your list of installed applications.
