As you can imagine, supporting 100% of distributions can be quite a huge
amount of effort. So our "install flatpak-builder" code currently uses
"pkcon" to install flatpak-builder.

Double check that your distribution supports that. If not, just try
installing flatpak-builder through whatever mechanism your distribution
supports.

If you installed with "flatpak --user", then it is in

  ~/.local/share/flatpak

If you installed without --user, it is in

  /var/lib/flatpak

If that is the case, you should be able to do something like this for
the stable branch.

  flatpak update org.gnome.Builder//stable

or something like this for the nightly branch.

  flatpak update org.gnome.Builder//master

Hope that helps,
