## **Maintaining flatpak package `org.getmonero.Monero`**
 
 
## Summary
 
I have been maintaining `org.getmonero.Monero` on Flathub since July 2021. Now I want to move its manifest to the [monero-gui](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui) repository. After that, I will also give the application the [verified](https://beta.flathub.org/apps/collection/verified) status on Flathub.
 
 
Thanks to this, users will be able to trust this flatpak package more.
 
 
## Installing and using
 
The `org.getmonero.Monero` flatpak package is a good replacement for ordinary packages in GNU/Linux distributions, for example it can be used in Whonix to [replace](https://forums.whonix.org/t/how-to-verify-the-monero-binaries-that-are-shipped-with-whonix/16439/10) the Debian package.
 
 
At first you have to [setup flatpak](https://flatpak.org/setup) with Flathub repository on your GNU/Linux distribution. After that, run this command:
 
```
 
$ flatpak install flathub org.getmonero.Monero
 
```
 
 
By default, `org.getmonero.Monero` has access only to the `~/Monero` directory, if you need more, do it:
 
```
 
$ flatpak --user override --filesystem=/path_to_your_directory org.getmonero.Monero
 
```
 
 
Some people need access to the `monerod` command:
 
```
 
$ flatpak run --command=monerod org.getmonero.Monero [options|settings] [daemon_command...]
 
```
 
 
## About me
 
I am [BigmenPixel](https://github.com/BigmenPixel0), who maintains Monero GUI on Flathub and some packages in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/account/BigmenPixel).
 
 
### Milestone 1 (3.5XMR)
 
 
Move the manifest to the [monero-gui](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui) repository and obtain verified status.
 
 
### Milestone 2 (6.5XMR)
 
 
1 year of maintenance to be paid after performance review (updates are ready in a timely manner / critical issues solved).
 
 
These rates are based off of the previous [debian package maintenance](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/adrelanos-debian-package.html) proposal.
