Hi dears, i'm new to SFOS, i'm having no sucess to instal the Storeman from openrepos,

I'm a bit confused about how to point the installer to the right folder where the .rpm file is stored. I searched over here but all i could find are people pointing this "pkcon install-local yourpackage.rpm"

Suposing the file i want to install are placed inside the downloads folder (internal storage), how to proceed?

"pkcon install-local yourpackage.rpm" My doubt is how to write the path to downloads folder. Really newbie , sorry about this.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I managed to achieve it by using the following commands:

cd /home/nemo/Downloads

and so

pkcon install-local ./filename.rpm But it shows :

Installing files Waiting in queue Starting Fatal error (the whole path) /filename.rpm has wrong architecture: armv7hl.

The error message of pkcon indicates that the package you are trying to install is for another architecture (armv7hl, which is used by the Jolla 1 and Jolla C devices). Which architecture does your device use? Since you are using a custom port, it is possible that your device is running another architecture (e.g. arm64)

after you have.diwnloaded the package, take filebrowser and click on it. or in downloads select the item. whatever. this will activate a dialog.that asks you if you wanna install the package. no pkcon needed here

Thank you, but i'm using a community port (has some bugs) and when i open the packeage and press to install it i got the message "problem with installing", for now the pkcon seems to be the only way to install apps :/
