@rezohs1234 I'm not sure I understand you right, but here's what I think you mean:
To just install and run an application (as an example firefox on ubuntu):

# Install firefox and firejail
$ sudo apt install firefox firejail
# start firejailed firefox
$ firejail firefox
# make firefox is firejailed by default
$ sudo firefcg

If you want to run malware to analyze it, you should use an VM.
