	== Main Version ==		== Main Version ==
	The main version of Flashpoint for Linux ~~is split into 3 different parts; [[#Main Files\|the main files]]~~, ~~which contain everything that Flashpoint itself~~ and ~~the platforms need to work; [[#Libraries\|the~~ libraries~~]], which can be~~ used to run Flashpoint in a known-working container; and ~~[[#Wine Runtime\|~~the Wine runtime~~]], which only~~ contains the binaries and libraries that the Windows-only programs need to run.		The main version of Flashpoint for Linux contains everything we currently support on Linux, and includes its own libraries and Wine runtime. The libraries are used to run Flashpoint in a known-working container, and the Wine runtime contains the binaries and libraries that the Windows-only programs need to run. These allow us to support as many different distro configurations as possible (including both mutable and immutable ones), and efficiently run non-native programs through the Flashpoint launcher without taking up too much extra space.

	If you use a mutable distro (i.e. one where the root file system can be modified), ~~only~~ the ~~"Main Files" component~~ and ~~[[#Dependencies\|dependencies]] are required; the other components are optional~~.		If you use a mutable distro (i.e. one where the root file system can be modified) and do not want all of the components, you may choose to remove the <code>Libraries</code> and <code>FPSoftware/Wine</code> directories post-install. This will leave you with only the main Flashpoint files, which total about 2 GB. See [[#Dependencies\|Dependencies]] for more information.

	~~'''If~~ you ~~use an immutable distro, like SteamOS, NixOS, or Fedora Silverblue~~, [[#~~Components~~\|~~all 3 components must be installed~~]] for ~~Flashpoint to work. Otherwise, you'll most likely receive errors regarding missing files. If you ask for help and this applies, you'll be directed back here unless you say you installed everything~~.~~'''~~

	For the best experience, at least 4 GB of free space is recommended on the partition you wish to install Flashpoint to.		For the best experience, at least 4 GB of free space is recommended on the partition you wish to install Flashpoint to.

Alternatively, if you are unable to run desktop entries, run <code>start-flashpoint.sh</code> instead.

	Once you've done that, Flashpoint ~~itself~~ is now installed. If you don't want to ~~or can't [[#Dependencies\|install the dependencies]], you should also install the other components below.~~		Once you've done that, Flashpoint is now installed. If you don't want to use the libraries and Wine runtime provided by Flashpoint, see [[#Dependencies\|the Dependencies section below]].

	~~==== Libraries ====~~
	~~'''If you already [[#Dependencies\|installed all of the dependencies]], you can skip this.'''~~

	~~This section will assume you [[#Main Files\|already extracted the main files]].~~

	~~To install~~ the libraries~~, follow these steps:~~
	# Download [https://download.flashpointarchive.org/upload/fp_lin_libs_20250722.7z this archive file]. <small>(SHA256: <code>b1281f721a81f0bb71b468382d5fd6c2d75943a071a0d3615101da180afbbe3c</code>)</small>
	~~# Extract the contents of the file '''directly''' to the <code>Libraries</code> directory of your~~ Flashpoint ~~install. The extracted files '''should not''' be placed within a subdirectory inside that location, otherwise Flashpoint won't be able to detect them.~~
	~~# If you already have a desktop entry~~, ~~rerun <code>setup-desktop-entry.sh</code> to generate a new one that'll load the binaries and libraries from the <code>Libraries</code> directory instead.~~

	~~When finished, your Flashpoint install should automatically use the binaries and libraries you've extracted instead of your system ones.~~

	~~==== Wine Runtime ====~~
	~~'''If you already~~ [[#Dependencies\|~~installed all of~~ the ~~dependencies]], you can skip this.'''~~

	~~This~~ section ~~will assume you [[#Main Files\|already extracted the main files]~~].

	~~To install the Wine runtime, follow these steps:~~

	# Extract the contents of the file '''directly''' to the <code>FPSoftware/Wine</code> directory of your Flashpoint install. The extracted files '''should not''' be placed within a subdirectory inside that location, otherwise Flashpoint won't be able to detect them.

	If done correctly, Flashpoint should use the extracted Wine runtime instead of the one on your system, if applicable. Flashpoint's runtime only contains the executables and libraries needed to run its Windows-only programs, and nothing more. This reduces the Wine install size, overall load times for Wine programs, and the size of the prefix that generates/updates.
