Sometimes snap packages and flatpaks come with unmemorable names to run their commands. Luckily for snap packages, you can easily alias them. For example, to rename the .NET executable to `dotnet` run.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo snap alias dotnet-sdk.dotnet dotnet
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|

Sadly the same cannot be said for Flatpaks. There is a [Github issue](https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/1565) open at the moment. I'll update this post when they successfully close the issue. In the meantime, we can use a script made by Seth Kenlon over at [Red Hat's blog](https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/launch-flatpaks-terminal-fuzzpak). The script is at the bottom of the post for posterity. You can save it to `~/.local/bin`, `chmod +x ~/.local/bin`, and then run `fuzzpak [appname]` where `appname` is the last part of the flatpak name. For example, the package`io.typora.Typora` can be called with `fuzzpak typora`.

|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# parse opts
|
||
|
|
while [ True ]; do
|
||
|
|
if [ "$1" = "--help" -o "$1" = "-h" ]; then
|
||
|
|
echo " "
|
||
|
|
echo "$0 [OPTIONS]"
|
||
|
|
echo "--directory, -d Location of flatpaks (default: $HOME/.var/app"
|
||
|
|
echo " "
|
||
|
|
exit
|
||
|
|
elif [ "$1" = "--directory" -o "$1" = "-d" ]; then
|
||
|
|
DIR=$DIR
|
||
|
|
shift 2
|
||
|
|
else
|
||
|
|
break
|
||
|
|
fi
|
||
|
|
done
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# main
|
||
|
|
launch_app "${1}"
|
||
|
|
```
