How to Install Godot on Fedora 42 – Step-by-step

Installing

2. 2. Download Godot

   Download the Godot Engine for GNU/Linux

   Godot .Zip

   Download Godot Archive

   Choose between the “Standard version” and the “Mono version“.
   If you need the C#-supported version, refer to: Install .NET Core SDK on Fedora!

3. 3. Install Godot

   To install Godot on Fedora, extract the downloaded archive to your chosen directory using the command line:

   sudo unzip -d /opt/ ~/Downloads/Godot*.zip

   If you have trouble finding the file, check this guide: How to Access the Downloads Folder from Browser.
   (For a system-wide installation, extract it directly; for a local setup, simply run it from your Home Directory.)
   Next, rename the extracted folder to simplify the path setup:

   sudo mv /opt/Godot* /opt/Godot

   For the NET release (with C# support), use:

   sudo mv /opt/Godot* /opt/GodotSharp

   Then rename it again for clarity:

   sudo mv /opt/GodotSharp/Godot* /opt/GodotSharp/GodotMono

   Set the correct permissions with:

   sudo chown -R root:root /opt/Godot*

   Skip this step if you’re setting up a local installation in your Home folder.
   Lastly, add Godot to your user path:

   echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/Godot" >> ~/.bashrc

   To reload the path, use:

   bash
