S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is a survival-horror FPS game developed by GSC Game World and published by THQ. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to get S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl up and running on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl is an excellent game. Unfortunately, it isn\u2019t native to Linux. Thankfully though, that doesn\u2019t matter as the game works well with the Proton compatibility program included in Steam.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

To get Steam working on Linux, you\u2019ll have to open up a terminal window. You can open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or by searching for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

With the terminal window open and ready to use, the installation of Steam can begin. Using the installation instructions below, get the Steam app working on your computer.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

To install Steam on Ubuntu, you\u2019ll have to use the apt install<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
If you use Debian Linux, you\u2019ll be able to get the Steam application up and running using the downloadable DEB package on the Steam website. To download the Steam app, use the following wget<\/strong> download command.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the DEB package, the installation process can begin. Using the dpkg<\/strong> command down below, set up Steam on your computer.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
With the Steam DEB package is configured, you must configure the dependencies on your system using the apt-get install -f<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
Steam works on Arch Linux. However, you\u2019ll need to set it up through the official \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. To enable this software repository, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file in a text editor (as root).<\/p>\n
With the text editor open, locate the \u201cmultilib\u201d line in the text file and remove the # symbol. Also, remove this symbol from the lines directly below it. When done, save the text file and run the pacman<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install the Steam app on your computer using pacman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
If you use Fedora or OpenSUSE, Steam is available through software repositories included out of the box. However, the Flatpak version of Steam works much better, so we suggest following those instructions instead.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
Before it is possible to install Steam on Linux as a Flatpak package, the Flatpak runtime must be configured. To do that, follow our guide on the subject. After setting up the runtime, enter the two commands below to get Steam working on your computer.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
Install \u200eStalker on Linux<\/h3>\n
After setting up Steam on your computer, open it up on your Linux system. Then, follow the step-by-step instructions down below to get Stalker working on Linux.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Find the \u201cSteam\u201d menu inside the Steam app and click on it with the mouse. Inside the Steam menu, find the \u201cSettings\u201d button to access the Steam settings area.<\/p>\n
Inside the Steam settings area, find the \u201cSteam Play\u201d section, and click on it with the mouse. Then, check the Enable Steam Play for supported titles\u201d and \u201cEnable Steam Play for all other titles\u201d box. Click the \u201cOK\u201d button to save the settings.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Find the \u201cStore\u201d button inside of Steam and select it with the mouse to access the Steam store. In the Steam store, find the search box, and click on it with the mouse. Then, type in \u201cStalker: Shadow of Chernobyl.\u201d Press the Enter<\/strong> key to view the search results.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Look through the search results for Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. Once you\u2019ve found it, click on it with the mouse. Selecting the game will take you to Stalker\u2019s Steam Storefront page.<\/p>\n
On the Stalker Steam page, find the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse to add Stalker to your Steam cart. With the game added to your Steam cart, go through the process of purchasing the game.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve purchased Stalker, find the \u201cLibrary\u201d button and click on it with the mouse to access your game\u2019s Steam library page. After accessing the Steam library page, find \u201cStalker: Shadow of Chernobyl.\u201d<\/p>\n
Click on the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button to download Stalker to your computer. The download process will take some time to complete.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> When the installation process is complete, the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button will turn into a green \u201cPLAY\u201d button. Select this button to play Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl on your Linux computer. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
