## Common questions

### Which repository should I treat as official after the nzbget-ng merge?

Use nzbgetcom/nzbget as the official repository going forward because nzbget-ng/nzbget is merging into it.

### What do I need before installing NZBGet as a Flatpak?

Install Flatpak and add Flathub first. Without Flathub, the NZBGet Flatpak install has nothing to download from.
