Hey all,
I have been searching online for this question, but was not able to get a solid answer. Is there a way/playbook for installing proton (regular and GE), setting prefixes, installing the GOG game, all over CLI?
The closest thing I found to this was maybe https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher, which I saw mentioned in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gaming#Game_launchers.
This question is more of me trying to learn more about game configuration on Linux over command-line rather than just relying on Steam, Lutris, Heroic, to do all the hard work for me. Any suggestions for this would be highly appreciated.
Edit: I would like to do this without https://sites.google.com/site/gogdownloader/, if possible.


I used to use innoextract to extract the launchers, and the the system wine to run it. Although sometimes I have to run extra installers that put dlls in the right spots.
You should probably just run the installer in lutris (which ships a proton distributution) or bottles.
Edit: I can’t read smh my head.
Check this out: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/2b116519c5b67254733234f36ab33a60f14f1358/WineDependencies.md
Thanks! So I would just set up Wine according to this, configure the prefixes and then run the game?
On another note, It just hit me that Proton was Valve’s version of wine (from my understanding). I’ll definitely give this a shot. Thanks moonpie!
