How to Install Godot on Fedora 40 – Step by step
March 30, 2025 | By the+gnu+linux+evangelist. Choose between the “Standard version” and the “Mono version“.

3. Installing Godot
To install Godot on Fedora, extract it directly to the target location from the command line:
sudo unzip -d /opt/ ~/Downloads/Godot*.zip
If you have trouble finding the file in the terminal, see: How to Access Downloads Folder from Browser.
(For a system-wide installation, for a local setup, simply run it from within the Home Directory.)
Then rename it to make the path setup easier:
sudo mv /opt/Godot* /opt/Godot
For the NET release with C# support, use:
sudo mv /opt/Godot* /opt/GodotSharp
And again:
sudo mv /opt/GodotSharp/Godot* /opt/GodotSharp/GodotMono
Next, fix the permissions with:
sudo chown -R root:root /opt/Godot*
Skip this step if you are setting up a local installation in your Home folder…
Finally, amend the user path:
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/Godot" >> ~/.bashrc
To reload it, simply run:
bash
