Linux Setup Steps on how to install and run PCSX2 on Linux false true 5

This section will help you through the process of setting up PCSX2 on Linux.

:::tip PCSX2 on Linux is officially supported with an AppImage and a Flatpak. PCSX2 is offered as both a Stable build (updated every several months) and as a Nightly build (updated as PCSX2 is developed). :::

AppImage

  • Head over to the download page and grab the latest AppImage build.
  • You will likely have to make the AppImage file executable. There are a few ways to do this:
    • Right-click on the AppImage, choose properties, then find the option to mark as executable.
      • This will vary between distros (below is an example for KDE Plasma). <Image src={require("./img/executable.webp").default} />
    • Or in a terminal, run chmod +x <path-to-AppImage-file> <Image src={require("./img/chmod.webp").default} />
  • You should be able to open the file by double-clicking it or by running it through the terminal.
  • Follow the setup wizard, and you are ready to play!

Flatpak

  • PCSX2 is available on Flathub!

  • In order to install PCSX2 from Flathub using the command line, open the terminal and type flatpak install net.pcsx2.PCSX2.

    • Typing flatpak install pcsx2 should find this same reference.
    • When asked if you want to proceed, type Y and press Enter.
    • PCSX2 is now installed on your machine!

    <Image src={require("./img/flatpakinstall.webp").default} />

  • Some distributions and desktop environments have a graphical package manager which can also install Flatpak applications.

    • These include:
      • KDE Plasma's Discover
      • GNOME Software
      • Linux Mint's Software Manager
      • Manjaro's pamac
      • Pop!_OS' Repoman

  • In order to update PCSX2 in the future, you can type flatpak update, which will update all of your out-of-date Flatpak applications.

    • If you want to exclusively update PCSX2, you can type flatpak update net.pcsx2.PCSX2.
    • You will be asked if you would like to proceed. Type Y and press Enter.

  • Follow the setup wizard, and you are ready to play!

:::note The Flatpak is also available for direct download. To install it, download the Flatpak file and type flatpak install <path-to-Flatpak-file> in the terminal. Downloading from Flathub as described previously is recommended for most Flatpak users. :::
