Install Flatpak and Friends
Flatpak is a cross-distribution framework for distribution and running of sandboxed applications. XDG Desktop Portal provides Nuvola Player with desktop integration. GNOME Software makes the browsing and installation of Flatpaks easier.
All packages come preinstalled in Fedora Workstation. In case you removed them,
run dnf install flatpak xdg-desktop-portal-gtk xdg-desktop-portal gnome-software as root/sudo.
Then restart your computer to add Flatpak paths alongside the system ones. Otherwise,
you may see strange errors. Unfortunately, just logging out and logging in is not enough.
Add Flathub and Nuvola Player Repositories
The Flathub repository provides GNOME Platform runtime, which is used by Nuvola to share common dependencies with other Flatpak apps to reduce disk & memory usage. The Nuvola Player repository contains Nuvola Player Service and individual integration scripts.
