Installing

3. 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
