This page explains how to install SMAPI (the tool which lets you use mods) on Linux.

See instructions for: Android • macOS • Steam Deck • Windows.

Install

  1. See the Distribution Specific Instructions for your Distribution.
  2. Download the latest version of SMAPI.
  3. Extract the .zip file somewhere (but not in your game folder!).
  4. If you installed Steam through Flatpak, see these instructions:
    instructions for Flatpak 
    When using Flatpak, you need to change the default game location:
    1. Open Steam.
    2. Go to Steam > Settings > Downloads.
    3. Click Steam Library Folders under Content Libraries.
    4. Navigate to /home/[your username]/.local/share/Steam, and click Select.
    5. Make sure the new location you just created is selected, then click "..." and select Make Default.
    6. You may need to uninstall & reinstall the game to move it to the correct folder.
  5. Run the install on Linux.sh file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    (If the installer asks for your game install path, see how to find your game folder.)

To install manually instead, see instructions in the installer's readme.

Distribution Specific Instructions

Many Linux distributions may need additional steps to work, such as installing an older version of OpenSSL.

Debian-Based (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian)

On Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, and other Debian-based installations, install libssl1.1. Run sudo apt install libssl1.1 in a terminal.

Arch-Based (Arch Linux, Manjaro Linux, EndeavourOS)

On Arch Linux and its derivatives, install openssl-1.1 by running sudo pacman -S openssl-1.1.

NixOS

On NixOS you need to use steam-run to execute the Installer Script.

  • Make sure your system has steam-run installed or create a temporary nix-shell with steam-run by executing export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 && nix-shell -p steam-run.
  • Run steam-run ./install\ on\ Linux.sh in a terminal to start the installation.

Update SMAPI

Just install the new version; the installer will automatically clean up previous versions.

Uninstall

  1. Launch the installer again (see install steps).
  2. When prompted, choose the uninstall option.

Troubleshooting

  • If the SMAPI window no longer appears after a game update, reinstall SMAPI to fix the launcher.
  • SMAPI tries to find a compatible terminal or use your default terminal, but some terminals aren't compatible. If the installer or launcher don't launch a terminal, try installing xterm (doesn't need to be your default terminal).
  • See the troubleshooting page for general troubleshooting.
