Phoenix now officially supports Flatpaks! 🎉. Simply install phoenix-flatpak rather than phoenix or phoenix-arch from your package manager. If you prefer, you can also just run the installation script - where Flatpaks have now also been added as an option after selecting your distribution.
The only caveat is that your Firefox Flatpak must be installed on the system level. We unfortunately don't yet support user Flatpaks, but we're hoping to in the near future.
Additionally, Phoenix for macOS has significantly improved - most notably: you are now no longer required to give your Terminal the App Management permission to receive updates!, resulting in a significant security improvement for your system.
NOTE: To continue receiving updates, macOS users must run the migration script with the command below, depending on your location of Firefox:
System:
bash -c "$(wget -O- https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/raw/branch/pages/macos/migration/system.sh 2>/dev/null)"
User:
bash -c "$(wget -O- https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/raw/branch/pages/macos/migration/user.sh 2>/dev/null)"
After running the migration script, macOS users must also run the new installation script:
bash -c "$(wget -O- https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix/raw/branch/pages/installer_scripts/macos_install.sh 2>/dev/null)"
Apologies for any inconvenience caused here... but I hope this major security improvement and step forward for Phoenix will make up for it. ;)
