**Long answer:** We realize this would speed up the development process, however, it would also slow us down in some ways, too. Sometimes, a small team can advance faster than a large community. We may reconsider in the future.

### How can I install Lunacy Beta on Flatpack
97+
98+
You can install Lunacy either as a stable release or as a beta version via Flatpak. The beta version lets you try new features earlier, but only one version (stable or beta) can be installed at a time.
99+
100+
Both versions share the same application ID: `com.icons8.Lunacy`.
101+
102+
#### Installing Lunacy Beta (from scratch)
103+
104+
1. Add the Flathub Beta repository (if not already added):
105+
106+
```bash
107+
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo
108+
```
109+
2. Install Lunacy Beta:
110+
111+
```bash
112+
flatpak install flathub-beta com.icons8.Lunacy
113+
```
114+
#### Switching from Stable to Beta
115+
116+
1. Uninstall the stable version:
117+
118+
```bash
119+
flatpak uninstall com.icons8.Lunacy
120+
```
121+
2. Add the Flathub Beta repository (if not already added):
122+
123+
```bash
124+
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo
125+
```
126+
3. Install the beta version:
127+
128+
```bash
129+
flatpak install flathub-beta com.icons8.Lunacy
130+
```
131+
132+
#### Running Lunacy
133+
134+
To run Lunacy (both stable and beta), use the same command:
135+
136+
```bash
137+
flatpak run com.icons8.Lunacy
138+
```
