1. Installing - ChrisDKN/Amethyst-Mod-Manager GitHub Wiki

Theres a few ways to install the mod manager

The easiest way is to run the following command in a terminal/konsole. You can search for konsole in the application menu or right click in the file explorer and press Open terminal here

Then right click > paste the command (Don't ctrl+v it doesn't work)

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChrisDKN/Amethyst-Mod-Manager/main/src/appimage/Amethyst-MM-installer.sh | bash

This command just runs the install script found in this repo under src/appimage. It grabs the latest version from releases and sets up a .desktop shortcut

You can find the application in the application menu. From here you can run it or add it to steam if you want to run it in gaming mode for the steam deck

There's currently no uninstall script but Amethyst adds files to the following locations

/home/<user>/.config/AmethystModManager (config files and default staging locations are here)

/home/<user>/applications (The app image is stored here)

/home/<user>/.local/share/applications (the .desktop entry is here)

/home/<user/.local/share/icons/ (The application icon is here)

The manager has an auto updater that appears when first loading the manager if a new version is available. The update button just runs the install script again.

Pre release versions may include bug fixes or new features not present in the stable version. To use the latest pre release version go to settings and under general settings enable use pre-release version

If the latest pre release is newer than stable, it will prompt to auto install the latest pre release. If no prompt appears it may be that there is no current pre release version, but it will prompt to install it when there is. Disabling this option will prompt to switch back to stable
