Install

From the project's own remote

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists pureos-repository https://store.puri.sm/repo/stable/pureos.flatpakrepo

flatpak install pureos-repository com.github.eneshecan.WhatsAppForLinux

https://store.puri.sm/repo/stable/pureos.flatpakrepo

Adds a third-party remote: future updates of this app come from it.

Installing with the Flatsonar desktop app adds the checks the terminal does not: the files are unpacked and scanned, the real permissions are re-scored, and you are asked twice if anything is off. Get it.
