VLC Flatpak


I found this VLC flatpak page ...

https://github.com/kinvolk/vlc-flatpak

Can I use this download to create a Flatpak VLC? If so, how?

SML,

Click on the green Clone or download button on the right > Download ZIP > Save file.

In Terminal:

Code:
unzip vlc-flatpak-master.zip
I assume that you already have zip and unzip installed?

Code:
#pacman -S zip unzip

Lol ... yes you can probably guess from when I registered here, that I have got that far in the process

There's a bunch of files, but there's obviously some sort of build process to create the *.flatpak file?
