Geode is currently available on **Windows** and **MacOS**; Android and iOS support is planned in the future. If you are running **Linux**, go to the [sections below](#installing-geode-on-linux).

Geode is installed using **its own installer**. You can find the latest version [on the Geode homepage](https://geode-sdk.org) or [on GitHub](https://github.com/geode-sdk/installer/releases/latest).

## Installing Geode on Linux

> :warning: Installing Geode on Linux is **not fully supported** as of now. It is not guaranteed that it will work without some tweaking. Ask around the community for help if something goes wrong!

Geometry Dash doesn't have a build for Linux, so to run it we need to use **Wine**. More specifically, **Proton**. Because of this, installing Geode on Linux is pretty similar to [installing it manually on Windows](#installing-geode-manually), you only have a bit of configuring to do after that.

1. Find Geometry Dash in Steam, right-click it, and click on **Properties**
![Opening the properties page for GD](/assets/steam_gd_properties.png)
2. In the **Launch options** field, enter the following:
```
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="Xinput9_1_0=n,b" %command%
```
This tells Wine to use the Xinput9_1_0.dll found in the Geometry Dash folder, which is used by Geode.

3. (optional) A stable version of Proton for Geometry Dash is **GE-Proton 7.43**. You can install it using **ProtonUp**, from Flathub. Try using that if you have trouble with launching the game. This isn't guaranteed to work on all machines, but it's worth a shot. If GD runs fine for you, **don't change the Proton version**.
