Installation
Linux
Flatpak
Heroic is available on Flathub, so you should be able to easily install it on most distros with Software Centers (Pop!_Shop, Discover, etc.)
Distribution-specific instructions
If you're not using the Flatpak version, make sure you have all Wine dependencies installed: Wine Dependencies.
Debian, Ubuntu and Derivatives
Download the file ending in .deb from the latest release.
Double-click it to open it up in your Software Manager, or run sudo dpkg -i Heroic*amd64.deb to install it directly.
Arch (AUR)
We currently only support one AUR package: heroic-games-launcher-bin. Although you might find other packages there, do not ask support for them on this GitHub or on our Discord, ask their maintainers directly.
Please see on how to install them
Fedora
You can download the file ending in .rpm from the latest release and install it with sudo dnf install ./heroic-*.x86_64.rpm.
Alternatively, you can use the Flatpak package.
Nix(OS)
Two community-maintained versions are available in nixpkgs, named (with an ) and heroic-unwrapped (without FHS).
Nix shell: nix-shell -p heroic
NixOS:
# /etc/nixos/configuration.nix { config, pkgs, ... }: { users.users.example = { isNormalUser = true; description = "Example user"; packages = with pkgs; [ heroic ]; }; }
Other Distributions (AppImage and TAR.XZ)
Since these two distribution formats don't have a form of dependency management, make sure the curl command is available. You might run into weird issues if it's not.
AppImage
.tar.xz
Windows
WinGet
If you use WinGet (installed by default on Windows 11 and modern versions of 10), you can run winget install Heroic in a terminal to install Heroic.
Manual installl
Download the Heroic Installer (Heroic-x.x.x-Setup.exe) or the portable version (Heroic-x.x.x-Portable.exe) from the latest release. Run the executable you downloaded to install/run Heroic.
The Setup will create shortcuts to Heroic on your Desktop and in your Start Menu.
macOS
If you use Homebrew, you can run brew install --cask --no-quarantine heroic to install Heroic.
Otherwise, download the file ending in .dmg from the latest release, double-click it to mount it, and drag the "Heroic" application into the "Applications" folder.
Development environment
This part will walk you through setting up a development environment so you can build Heroic binaries yourself or make changes to the code.
Make sure Git, NodeJS, and pnpm 10 are installed
NOTE: On Windows, due to an issue with electron-builder, you'll need the standalone version of pnpm (@pnpm/exe)
to build packages
Clone the repo and enter the cloned folder, for example with these commands:
git clone https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher.git --recurse-submodules cd HeroicGamesLauncher
Make sure all dependencies are installed by running pnpm install
Download all helper binaries using pnpm download-helper-binaries
Building Heroic Binaries
Run the appropriate command for your OS:
Build for Linux:
pnpm dist:linux # Optionally specify a package to create (eg: deb, pacman, tar.xz, rpm, AppImage); default: AppImage
Build for Windows:
pnpm dist:win
Build for Mac:
pnpm dist:mac
Building with VS Code
Instead of using the above commands to build Heroic, you can also use the Tasks in VSCode to build. To do that, open up the command palette (Ctrl + P), type in "task" and press Space. You will then see 3 build tasks, "Build for Linux", "Build for Windows", and "Build for MacOS". Click the one you want to run.
Quickly testing/debugging Heroic on your own system
If you want to quickly test a change, or you're implementing features that require a lot of restarts, you can use Vite's development server to speed up the process:
Go to the "Run and Debug" tab of VSCode and start the "Launch Heroic (HMR & HR)" task (alternatively, if you're not using VSCode or just prefer the terminal, run pnpm start). Heroic will start up after a short while, and once you make any change to the code, it'll reload/restart.
Development on Nix
After cloning the repository, Nix users can use nix-shell to make Node.JS/pnpm available and automatically run 3 and 4. See shell.nix for more information.
