curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChrisDKN/Amethyst-Mod-Manager/main/src/appimage/Amethyst-MM-installer.sh | bash

Alternatively you download the appimage via the release page and install via gear lever

The application will notifiy when a new update goes live, Pressing the update button will rerun the script and update to any new version

Flatpak

Run the following command

flatpak install --user https://chrisdkn.github.io/Amethyst-Mod-Manager/amethyst.flatpakref

The remote can also be added manually where you can then install from the app store/discover store

flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists modmanager-origin https://chrisdkn.github.io/Amethyst-Mod-Manager/amethyst.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user modmanager-origin io.github.Amethyst.ModManager//stable

The repo carries two branches, stable and beta, so name the one you want.

Manually swap to the beta branch

(swap --user for --system if that's where you installed it)

Installing from a bundle skips the 32-bit compat extensions that running Windows tools (Proton/wine) requires - The app installs them automatically on first launch, or you can add them yourself:

flatpak install --user flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.Compat.i386//24.08 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default//24.08
