## RetroDECK Usage Questions

## Flatpak Questions

|
||||||
### Retrodeck is a flatpak, what is it?
|
|
||||||
[Flaptak](https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/introduction.html) is like sandboxed application, with its own read only filesystem that is different from your computer's filesystem. That's why flatpak is safer than installing something directly in your filesystem as everything it needs is contained within the flatpak.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### How is a flatpak made?
|
|
||||||
A flatpak is generated from a manifest file. A software called flatpak-builder reads the manifest, then starts downloading dependencies and starts building the software. After the build process is done it generates the software in a .flatpak file. This file can then be hosted on Flathub or distributed on the web.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### How does the RetroDECK flatpak manifest look like?
|
|
||||||
You can find out manifest here: https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/blob/main/net.retrodeck.retrodeck.yml

### Do I have to partition or format my disk/sdcard to install RetroDECK?

No, partitioning or formatting is not needed at all. RetroDECK (differently from AmberELEC, Batocera and others) comes as a flatpak. Just install it as any other application and launch it from your desktop and/or Steam library.
