Akira: The application requires the runtime org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.36 which was not found

[stnieder]

Expected Behavior

I was trying to install Akira on my ClearLinux environment.

Current Behavior

During the installation through the flathub store the following error shows up: The application com.github.akiraux.akira/x86_64/beta requires the runtime org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.36 which was not found. I have tried to install this specific version of org.gnome.Platform and also to restart the laptop, but that does not seem to solve my problem.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Adding the flathub-beta repo through flatpak remote-add flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo
2. Trying to install Akira through flatpak install akira

Your Environment (for bugs)

The solution is to install that platform, so please provide the output when you try to install akira.

Because you need to enable flathub flatpak remote-add flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo & then do a flatpak update

@stnieder I can verify that the instructions from @bilelmoussaoui will work. Add that repo to your flatpak, do an update, and then try flatpak install akira again. It'll install multiple packages, including a version of the Gnome shell runtime that's supported.

[bilelmoussaoui]

No it's not the required version of gnome shell. But the GNOME runtime.

Corrected.

Thanks! I guess we can close this as the question was answered :)

[stnieder]

Tried it and it works now!!

I just wanted to add to this for anyone else reading this issue. I had the same error message, but I already had flatpak fully configured and the Gnome 3.36 Platform installed. Running with the --no-deps flag on the install worked like a charm and Akira runs correctly.
