Download r2modman v3.2.19.
Windows, Linux and Steam Deck.

Eight files ship with v3.2.19; the release publishes SHA-512 digests for five. The Windows setup and Flatpak must be installed. The AppImage runs directly after you grant it execute permission. Windows and Linux only — there is no macOS build to download.

Where the files come from

Two official channels publish the build.

The GitHub release page carries all 117 releases with every attached asset. The Thunderstore package is the managed channel — 10.4M downloads and 1,394 upvotes at the last verification — and the Thunderstore client uses it to install and update the manager. Both publish builds from the ebkr/r2modmanPlus repository.

⊞Windows desktop

Windows

The setup executable installs r2modman for the current user and enables the updater. The portable executable runs from any folder without an install — useful on managed machines or removable storage. Both contain the same app; only the packaging differs.

Linux

The AppImage needs no installation or root access. The deb, rpm and pacman formats use the system package mechanism when r2modman installs an update and may request elevation; the tar.gz is the manual fallback. Do not use the Windows .exe files on Linux.

▣Steam Deck

Flatpak

Flatpak is the Steam Deck route that survives SteamOS updates and can launch from Game Mode. In Desktop Mode, add the r2builds remote over HTTPS once, then install the app by ID. The AppImage also works in Desktop Mode.

Installation paths

Pick the instructions that match your platform.

Each path ends with a check that separates a manager, game path, loader, or mod failure.

01

Windows first install

  1. Download r2modman-Setup-3.2.19.exe and keep it outside the game folder.
  2. Install to a normal application location so the updater can replace the executable when you close the app.
  3. In r2modman, compare Settings → Directories with Steam's right-click → Manage → Browse local files folder.
  4. Create a new profile, install the community's Pinned loader package, then add mods with their dependencies.
  5. Use Start modded. Opening the game from Steam intentionally starts the unmodded build.
02

Linux desktop

  1. Choose one format: AppImage, deb, rpm, pacman, or tar.gz.
  2. For AppImage, run chmod +x r2modman-3.2.19.AppImage, then execute it directly.
  3. If no window appears, try --no-sandbox as a diagnostic for Electron sandbox restrictions.
  4. If a Proton game is misdetected as native Linux, create an empty .forceproton file in the game's root.
  5. Confirm the game directory under Settings → Directories, then test a loader-only profile with Start modded.
03

Steam Deck and Flatpak

  1. In Desktop Mode, add the official remote: flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists r2builds https://r2builds.ebkr.dev/flatpak/r2modman.flatpakrepo
  2. Install by app ID: flatpak install r2builds io.github.ebkr.r2modman. Add --user to both commands for a per-user install.
  3. Add r2modman to Steam as a non-Steam game if you want to open it from Game Mode.
  4. Compare Settings → Directories with the folder Steam opens from Browse local files before installing mods.
Integrity check

Verify the file before you run it.

The release's electron-updater metadata carries Base64 SHA-512 digests for five assets. The other three do not publish a digest there, so use the official release and compare the byte size.

Trust and limits

The manager and its mods have different trust boundaries.

r2modman is MIT-licensed and every build comes from one repository. Each mod is separate third-party code with its own author, licence and permissions inside the game process. A checksum proves a download matches a published file; it does not establish what the manager or a mod will do at runtime.
