Need help with installing apps

[atomic remnant]

on vanilla orchid i use the Fedora container which I have created with apx. after entering the container with apx Fedora enter i do sudo dnf install firefox and it also runs the installer but then when I go to my applications menu firefox does not show up. I tried the same with using sudo apt install and tried installing spotify but even that didnt show up. I tried both of them from the normal terminal.

i dont want to use software store because then whats the point

u can't install via terminal?

[silver lodge]

you can

but why

[atomic remnant]

it's much easier via terminal tho

[silver lodge]

ok

you can run flatpak commands in the terminal btw

[atomic remnant]

but still isn't that an issue or smth as the apps don't show up?
they run by doing firefox &

or anything accompanied with &

[silver lodge]

did they get properly exported

The recommended way is via flatpak.
But if you want to export an app from an apx container use
apx yourcontainer export --app-name firefox

Installing in the default container should export automatically. Does it give you any errors?

[atomic remnant]

no errors

ok imma install via flatpak

thank you
