Modding:Player Guide/header

This page explains how to install SMAPI (the tool which lets you use mods) on Linux. This guide also applies for the Steam Deck's distribution of Linux, SteamOS. See also:

Install

  1. Download the latest version of SMAPI.
  2. Extract the .zip file somewhere (but not in your game folder!).
  3. Run the install on Linux.sh file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    (If it 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.

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.
