➡️ Step 1: Install Flatpak on your system

Install Flatpak using the below command:

┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ sudo apt install flatpak

➡️ Step 2: Add the Flathub repository

Flathub is the best place to get Flatpak apps. To enable it, run:

┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ reboot

➡️ Step 3: Install qFlipper on your Debian Linux

┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ flatpak install https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/one.flipperzero.qFlipper.flatpakref
┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ flatpak run one.flipperzero.qFlipper

➡️ Step 4: Fix Invalid Device/Unsupported Device Found

If you receive the below error, follow the below instruction to resolve this issue:

You would need to create a new udev rule for Flipper Zero USB

Run the below command to create udev rule:

┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ cat << EOF | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/42-flipperzero.rules
> #Flipper Zero serial port
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5740", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Flipper Devices Inc.", TAG+="uaccess", GROUP="uucp"
#Flipper Zero DFU
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="df11", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="STMicroelectronics", TAG+="uaccess", GROUP="uucp"
EOF
[sudo] password for sysadmin102:
┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ sudo udevadm control --reload

Sometime, you will need to reboot for the new rule to take effect.

➡️ Uninstall qFlipper and Flatpak:

Run the below commmand to uninstall qFliiper and Flatpak

┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ sudo flatpak uninstall one.flipperzero.qFlipper

┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ sudo apt remove flatpak && sudo apt autoremove

┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/42-flipperzero.rules

┌─[sysadmin102@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ $ sudo udevadm control --reload
