Welcome!

You may have found this project after watching my YouTube video from ~2015 which outlines how to install Roblox Linux Wrapper. While a lot has changed, the overall installation process is still similar. I recommend following these instructions rather than the instructions from the video. This wiki will be updated as time goes on, which is something I cannot do with a YouTube video.

Installing Required Software

Before Continuing...

Before proceeding with installation, please make sure your machine meets Roblox minimum requirements (aside from the OS)

Roblox Linux Wrapper will not run as root. You should not run wine as root.

Roblox Linux Wrapper does not support ARM-based devices, such as the Raspberry Pi or Apple Silicon Macs.

Roblox Linux Wrapper does not guarantee compatibility with Roblox features. Roblox is updating constantly, which may impact future compatibility. Furthermore, since you are using an unsupported system, you may be putting your account at risk of being kicked from servers or banned from Roblox servers entirely. This project is not liable for anything that happens to your account as a result of using this software. Use at your own risk. Having said that, people have been trying to play Roblox on Linux for over a decade now and I have not heard of anyone being banned. 😶‍🌫️

Installing prerequisites

Roblox Linux Wrapper requires the following dependencies: git, wget, your favorite flavor of wine, and zenity. Use your system's package management solution to install these applications.

To install Wine, please visit https://wiki.winehq.org/Download and follow the instructions for your distribution. While using other builds of wine is supported by Roblox Linux Wrapper, providing support for other builds is difficult. I recommend using wine directly from https://www.winehq.org. Zorin OS users should use the Windows App Support feature of Zorin OS rather than installing wine from WineHQ. Arch Linux and Manjaro users should refer to the Arch Wiki when installing Wine

Installing Roblox Linux Wrapper

1. Visit the releases page and download the latest release. Extract this archive & open the folder containing the script.

2. Execute the rlw binary. You can do this by opening rlw with a terminal, or by dragging rlw in and hitting enter. If this is the first time you have opened Roblox Linux Wrapper, you should be asked to choose what copy of wine you would like it to use. Make your selection and press OK.

3. Click "Yes" to install Roblox

4. Click "OK"

5. Click Exit

6. Done! You can now play Roblox by visiting https://www.roblox.com/ in your preferred browser.
