Installation

Prerequisites

flatpak needs to be installed. You can install it on Ubuntu by running the following commands in a terminal:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Afterwards reboot before you try to install TntConnect.

Installation of TntConnect

Run the following command in a terminal to install TntConnect:

flatpak install https://www.beilharz-family.de/software/tntconnect.flatpakref

After installing the flatpak you might want to upgrade TntConnect to a newer (beta) version.

For security reasons only the files under ~/Documents are visible inside of the flatpak. If you want to see all files in your home directory, you can run TntConnect like this:

flatpak run --filesystem=home com.tntware.TntConnect

NOTE: When creating a new database or opening an existing one, explicitly select the path in your Linux home directory (/home/username/...) instead of the emulated path in Windows Explorer – while the emulated path might show your files TntConnect won't be able to open them.

NOTE: If TntConnect fails to start after an update of the flatpak package, run the following command:

rm -rf ~/.var/app/com.tntware.TntConnect

Then try starting TntConnect again. This will reinstall TntConnect.
