Shadow of Chernobyl en Linux – Easy Steps

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl is a Survival Horror FPS game developed by GSC Game World and published by THQ. In this guide, we will show you how to get STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl up and running on Linux.

How to make STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl work on Linux

Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl is an excellent game. Unfortunately, it is not native to Linux. Fortunately, that doesn’t matter, as the game works well with the Proton compatibility program included in Steam.

Instalar Steam

In order for Steam to work on Linux, you will have to open a terminal window. You can open a terminal window on the Linux desktop by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on the keyboard. Or by searching for “Terminal” in the application menu.

With the terminal window open and ready to go, you can begin the Steam installation. By following the installation instructions below, get the Steam application working on your computer.

Ubuntu

To install Steam on Ubuntu, you will have to use the fit to install command below.

sudo apt install steam

Debian

If you are using Debian Linux, you will be able to get the Steam application up and running using the downloadable DEB package from the Steam website. To download the Steam app, use the following wget download command.

wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steam.deb

After downloading the DEB package, you can begin the installation process. Using the dpkg command below, set up Steam on your computer.

sudo dpkg -i steam.deb

With the Steam DEB package configured, you need to configure the dependencies on your system using the apt-get install -f command.

sudo apt-get install -f

Arch Linux

Steam works on Arch Linux. However, you will need to configure it through the official “multilib” software repository. To enable this software repository, open the /etc/pacman.conf file in a text editor (as root).

With the text editor open, locate the “multilib” 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 command below.

sudo pacman -Syy

Finally, install the Steam application on your computer using pacman.

sudo pacman -S steam

Fedora / OpenSUSE

If you are using Fedora or OpenSUSE, Steam is available through factory bundled software repositories. However, the Flatpak version on Steam works much better, so we suggest following those instructions.

Flatpak

Before Steam can be installed on Linux as a Flatpak package, the Flatpak runtime must be configured. To do this, follow our guide on the subject. After setting the runtime, enter the two commands below to get Steam working on your computer.

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
