Stardew Valley is a simulation RPG developed by Eric Barone. It was released on Microsoft Windows in 2016. Later, it made its way to Mac OS, Linux, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, iOS, Android, and even PlayStation Vita.<\/p>\n

\"Stardew<\/p>\n

In the game, players take the role of a character who manages their grandfather\u2019s farm. The player is tasked with farming, raising livestock, crafting items, mining for ore, and much more. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to get Stardew Valley working on Linux.<\/p>\n

Stardew Valley is a native Linux game. It was ported to the platform shortly after the Windows release of the game. However, users can\u2019t just download Stardew Valley anywhere and play it. The native release is via Steam, so you will need the Linux version of Steam to play.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

Getting the Linux version of Steam isn\u2019t very difficult. To start the installation process, open up a terminal window. To open up a terminal window, press Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard or search for \u201cterminal\u201d in your app menu.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, the Steam app is best installed by using the Apt install\u00a0<\/strong>command below in a terminal window.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
It is possible to install Steam on the Debian Linux operating system. However, the best way to go about getting it working isn\u2019t via the Debian software repositories, but the downloadable DEB package on Steam\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
To start installing Steam on your Debian Linux PC, make use of the wget\u00a0<\/strong>downloader app in the terminal and use it to grab the latest DEB package.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the Steam DEB package to your computer, execute the\u00a0dpkg\u00a0<\/strong>command below in a terminal window. This command will install the Steam app on Debian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Once the Steam DEB package is set up on your Debian Linux PC, you will need to run the\u00a0apt-get install -f\u00a0<\/strong>command to correct any dependency issues that may have occurred during installation.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
On Arch Linux, the latest release of Steam is distributed to users via the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. To get it working on your system, enable \u201cmultilib\u201d in your Pacman configuration file. Then, execute the\u00a0pacman\u00a0<\/strong>command below to get the app working on your system.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
On Fedora Linux as well as OpenSUSE Linux, users can install Steam via software repositories. However, the installation methods for these operating systems aren\u2019t very user-friendly. For this reason, we highly suggest using the Flatpak installation instructions for Steam instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
Steam is on the Flathub app store as a Flatpak app. So, if you need to get Steam working and Flatpak is the only way to do it, here\u2019s how to get it working. To start, you must install the Flatpak runtime on your computer. The Flatpak runtime isn\u2019t too tricky to get working. Follow our guide on the subject for help setting it up.<\/p>\n
After getting the Flatpak runtime up and running for your system, you must add the Flathub app store to the system. The Flathub app store can be added to Flatpak by making use of the\u00a0flatpak remote-add\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
With the Flathub app store set up on your system, use the flatpak install\u00a0<\/strong>command below to get Steam working.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
Install Stardew Valley on Linux<\/h3>\n
Now that Steam is set up on your computer launch the app on your computer. You can launch Steam by searching for \u201cSteam\u201d in your Linux desktop environment\u2019s app menu.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Steam open, log into your account using your Steam credentials. After logging in with your Steam credentials, follow the step-by-step instructions outlined below to get Stardew Valley working on your Linux PC.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Step 1:\u00a0<\/strong>Once Steam is logged in, the Steam app will attempt to check for updates and install any if there are updates available. Sit back and be patient. When it is done checking, Steam will launch fully.<\/p>\n
When Steam is fully launched, find the \u201cSTORE\u201d button at the top of the window and click on it with the mouse. If you cannot find \u201cSTORE,\u201d it is directly to the left of the \u201cLIBRARY\u201d button.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> When you click on the \u201cSTORE\u201d button, you\u2019ll be taken to the Steam Storefront. From here, locate the search box, and click on it with the mouse. After clicking on it, type out \u201cStardew Valley\u201d and press the\u00a0Enter\u00a0<\/strong>key.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Upon pressing\u00a0Enter<\/strong>, Steam will display search results. Click on \u201cStardew Valley\u201d to access the Stardew Valley Steam store page. Then, find the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button, and click it to purchase and add the game to your account.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
