I tried to install GeoGebra using flatpak.Just for
experiement i installed flatpak using apt
I was greeted with follwoing error when i run command to install geogebra.
Error:
sangram@sangram-Inspiron-14-5430:~$ flatpak install flathub org.geogebra.GeoGebra
Note that the directories
'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share'
'/home/sangram/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'
are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so
applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the
session is restarted.
Looking for matches…
error: No remote refs found for ‘flathub’
Solution:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Open bashrc file:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
Add following line into it
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share:/home/$USER/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share
Reload bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
verify that the Flathub remote was successfully added by listing Flatpak remotes:
flatpak remotes
Output:
Name Options

flatpak install flathub org.geogebra.GeoGebra
To launch it run
flatpak run org.geogebra.GeoGebra
If you want to remove this app then run
