Installation
Brickadia has a launcher that will update the game for you, so you'll only need to install it once.
Windows
Download the Windows installer from the download page and run it.
Windows SmartScreen may say that "Windows protected your PC" because the installer has not been run by enough users. To continue, click More info, then Run anyway.
If you do not have the More info option, you will need to adjust a setting:
- Open the Windows Defender settings
- Go to App & browser control
- Under Check apps and files, select the Warn option instead of the Block option
- Run the installer again
You'll get a shortcut to start Brickadia on your desktop, and several others in your start menu.
Linux
The Vulkan renderer in the game is known to be unstable in its current state. If you're experiencing random bouts of crashing, you may want to try running the game in Proton.
Brickadia can be started from application entries.
Debian/Ubuntu
Download the brickadia-launcher.deb package from the download page.
On most distributions, you should be able to open it to install it. If not, run this command:
sudo apt install ~/Downloads/brickadia-launcher.deb
Arch Linux
Install brickadia-launcher from the AUR.
Other
An official package is not available for any other distributions yet, but you can download an archive of the launcher that should work on most Linux distributions, provided that you find the dependencies.
Download the brickadia-launcher.tar.xz archive from the download page. Extract it, and run the brickadia-launcher file to start the game.
