Skul: The Hero Slayer – Guide to Modding on Linux / Steam Deck

I finally managed to make modding work in Linux (it is extremely simple).

Modding on Linux / Steamdeck

Step 1: Download r2modman

It can be found here so just get the latest version and make sure to use a file that is compatible with your distro (appimage for Steam Deck).

Step 2: Install it (different on Steam Deck)

If you are familiar with linux, you know what to do, but, if you are not then follow this:

• Open your downloads folder
• Right click inside it and open your console
• Type the command to download it
  • rpm: sudo rpm -i name.rpm
  • pacman: sudo pacman -U name.pacman
  • deb: sudo dpkg -i name.deb

Step 3: See if it opens

Type r2modman on the search bar and open it.

If it works, you are done. If it doesn’t, go to step below.

It doesn’t open:

• Open Lutris (get it if you don’t have. What are you doing?)
• Add a new file game -> Local installed game (last option)
• Set the runner to Linux and name it Mod Manager or something idk
• Right click the new game that appeared and select Configure
• In game options, put the path to the r2modman followed by /r2modman (example: /opt/r2modman/r2modman)
• In arguments, type

--no-sandbox

Congratulations, your mod manager should work now.

Steam Deck

• Download the appimage file from the site
• Right click it -> properties -> permissions -> check “set as executable”
• Open it (this should work, but tell me if you have any issues)
