getting geode

📥 Step 1: Download Geode

Go to the official Geode installer:

https://geode-sdk.org/install

Download the Windows Installer (.exe).

Important: When Chrome asks where to save it, choose Linux files.

🍷 Step 2: Install Wine

Open the Linux Terminal and run:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install wine -y

Check that Wine installed:

wine --version

▶️ Step 3: Run the Geode Installer

Open the Linux Terminal.

Go to your Linux home folder:

cd ~

Run the installer:

wine Geode-Installer.exe

If the installer has a different name, replace Geode-Installer.exe with the actual filename.

📂 Step 4: Tell Geode Where Geometry Dash Is

When the installer asks where Geometry Dash is installed:

1. Click Browse.

2. Click the address bar/path box at the top of the window.

3. Replace whatever is there with:

Z:\home\YOUR_USERNAME\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Geometry Dash

4. Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your Linux username.

Example

If your username is zha0223, enter:

Z:\home\zha0223\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Geometry Dash

5. Press Enter.

6. Select the Geometry Dash folder (don't open it and don't select GeometryDash.exe).

7. Click Select Folder (or OK, depending on the installer).

8. Continue the installation.

Tip: The .local folder is hidden, so it usually won't appear when browsing normally. Typing the full path into the address bar takes you straight there.

🎮 Step 5: Add the Steam Launch Option

Open Steam.

Right-click Geometry Dash → Properties.

Under Launch Options, paste:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_4=n,b" %command%

▶️ Step 6: Play!

Launch Geometry Dash.

If everything worked, you'll see the Geode button on the main menu.
