        <title>Description</title>

        <para>
            Installs an application or runtime. <arg choice="plain">REMOTE</arg> must name
            an existing remote and <arg choice="plain">NAME</arg> is the name of the
            application or runtime to install. Optionally, <arg choice="plain">BRANCH</arg> can
            be specified to install a branch other than the default "master" branch.
        </para>
        <para>
            By default this looks for both apps and runtime with the given <arg choice="plain">NAME</arg> in
            the specified <arg choice="plain">REMOTE</arg>, but you can limit this by using the --app or --runtime option.
        </para>
        <para>
            Note that xdg-app allows to have multiple branches of an application and runtimes
            installed and used at the same time. However, only version of an application one can be current,
            meaning its exported files (for instance desktop files and icons) are
            visible to the host. The last installed version is made current by
            default, but you can manually change with make-current.
        </para>
        <para>
            Unless overridden with the --user option, this command creates a
            system-wide installation.
