Run RM (Steam) on Linux with Proton

じ☆ve冰风

[This guide only applies for the Steam versions of RPG Maker. If you have the non-Steam version, it can still be downloaded and run on Linux by following my other guide here(originally written with reference to the released game .exe)]

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to run the Steam versions of RPG Maker in Linux with Steam's fantastic Proton tool. Proton is a fork of Wine designed around Steam games.

Step 1: Install Steam​

• The two most popular distributions are Ubuntu and Linux Mint. (Mint is a fork of Ubuntu.)
  
  
  
  • On both OS's, the Software Center should be preinstalled. Open the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and type:                                      Code:        
    复制

    
    
    
    
    • (You may or may not need to type sudo.)
      
    
    
  • If the command is not found, it may not be installed.
    
    
    
    • First type:                                      Code:        
      复制

      
      
    • And then enter the original command.
      
    
    
  • You should also be able to run it graphically through Show Applications → Software icon, which looks like a white suitcase with a circle inside.
    
  • Alternatively, you could install Steam directly without opening the Software Center by running:                                      Code:        
    复制

    
    
    
    
    • The Software Manager must still be first installed if it is not already installed.
      
    
    
  
  
• If you are using a Debian-based distribution that is not Ubuntu-based (such as Kali, or even Debian itself), you should still be able to enter the apt install command and run the software manager.
  

Once the Software Manager is open, search for Steam and hit install. The interface at this point is intuitive.

• If you are using Arch Linux (or Manjaro):
  
  
  
  • Install Steam directly via the command:                                      Code:        
    复制

    
    
  • Run Steam, once it's installed, with the steam-runtime command. It's necessary to install native to make sure there are no missing libraries.
    
  
  
• If you're using Fedora, you'll need to install Steam from a reliable third-party repository, like RPM Fusion.
  
  
  
  • To install Steam on Fedora, open the console and run this long command:  Spoiler: Spoiler for length

                    Code:        

    复制

    
    
  • Then run:                                      Code:        
    复制

    
    
  • And finally:                                      Code:        
    复制

    
    
  
  

Now you'll just need to open up Steam and login.

Step 2: Set up Proton
​

Open the Steam client and open the Settings. (Make sure family mode is turned off during this guide, if applicable.)



Go down to "Steam Play" and check "Enable Steam Play for supported titles" and "Enable Steam Play for all other titles". Then select the latest version of Proton from the dropdown. I selected Proton 5.13-6, which was the most recent at the time this guide was written. (If newer options are available, select them instead!)



Note that there is a "Proton Experimental" version. In my attempts to use it, it has caused problems. Personally I'd recommend selecting the newest stable version.

Step 3: Install RM and enjoy!
​

Great! You should now be able to select the RPG Maker version of your choice, hit install, and then open it up and begin working. There's no guarantee that RPG Maker will work perfectly, but it's worked well enough for me.
