1 Install Flatpak (if not already installed)

Most modern distros have Flatpak pre-installed. Run this command to check:

flatpak --version

If Flatpak is not installed, install it using your distro's package manager:

# Ubuntu / Debian / Mint
sudo apt install flatpak

# Fedora
sudo dnf install flatpak

# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S flatpak

# openSUSE
sudo zypper install flatpak

Then add the Flathub repository (the official Flatpak app store):

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

You may need to restart your system after adding Flathub for the first time, particularly on Ubuntu and Debian.

2 Install Stremio from Flathub

Once Flatpak and Flathub are set up, install Stremio with a single command:

flatpak install flathub com.stremio.Stremio

Alternatively, visit Flathub in your browser and click the Install button:

Open on Flathub

3 Run Stremio

Launch Stremio from your applications menu, or run it from the terminal:

flatpak run com.stremio.Stremio

Sign in with your Stremio account, install your preferred addons, and start watching. Your watch history and settings will sync across all your devices.

! Distro-specific Notes

Ubuntu Software Center: If you have the Flatpak plugin installed, you can search for Stremio directly in the Ubuntu Software app.

GNOME Software / KDE Discover: Both support Flatpak. Search for "Stremio" and install from there if you prefer a GUI.

Arch Linux: Stremio is also available in the AUR as stremio for those who prefer native packages over Flatpak.

Updating Stremio: Keep Stremio up to date by running:

flatpak update com.stremio.Stremio
