        <para>
            Installs an application. <arg choice="plain">REPOSITORY</arg> must name
            an existing remote and <arg choice="plain">APP</arg> is the name of the
            application to install. Optionally, <arg choice="plain">BRANCH</arg> can
            be specified to install a branch other than the default "master" branch.
        </para>
        <para>
            Note that xdg-app allows to have multiple branches of an application
            installed and used at the same time. However, only 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-app-current.
        </para>
        <para>
            Unless overridden with the --user option, this command creates a
            system-wide installation.
