+
+### Step 2: Go to flathub and get the Run command
+
+1. Go to [Flathub](https://flathub.org/).
+2. On flathub go to a the application you want to add, press the `Down Arrow` next to `Download Button` to get the `Run command` and `Full Flatpak Name`.

 ## The Last Step: Launch the Games via RetroDECK & Scrape
 
 After the `.desktop` files have been created and everything is working as expected, RetroDECK will recognize the `.desktop` file the next time you start it. The games will appear under the Windows tab in ES-DE. If you have named the games correctly, there is a good chance that the scraper will identify them.
