Hi Federico,
I welcome this since I've been having problems with Frescobaldi under
both CentOS 7 and 8 for a while.
I followed the setup guide on the host CentOS 7 machine and downloaded
the flathub repository file. First problem: I had to be root to install
it - I thought flatpak was meant to be at user level?
I then installed Frescobaldi (using cut-and-paste). If I tried to run
it as a user I got the message: "error:
app/org.frescobaldi.Frescobaldi/x86_64/master not installed". As a test
I tried running it as root (I know, bad practice) and the window opened,
but then hung and would not die.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Martin

Hi folks
I'm happy to announce that Frescobaldi is now available for Linux
users also as flatpak on Flathub:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.frescobaldi.Frescobaldi
Advantages:
- LilyPond is bundled, so it's a very simple installation.
- All runtime dependencies are included.
- Sandbox.
Bugs:
- Doumentation browser is not working.
There's something wrong in the way I built PyQtWebEngine...
Current stable installed size is 287 MB. (not including the KDE runtime)
Current beta release shipping lilypond 2.21.80 is 245 MB (no need to
include python2).
Installing the stable version should be straightforward.
If you want to install the beta version (which currently has only the
"stable RC" of lilypond), run these commands:
flatpak remote-add --user flathub-beta
https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user flathub-beta org.frescobaldi.Frescobaldi
Cheers
Federico
