Running VRCX on Linux

Natsumi edited this page Mar 16, 2026 · 15 revisions

For our Linux and macOS builds we use Electron because it has a natively supported browser, unlike our Cef builds for Windows.

Running VRCX on Linux

  • Download latest AppImage from Releases or Beta/Nightly version available here.
  • AppImage will automatically be moved to ~/Applications/ if this is undesirable for whatever reason, running with the launch arg --no-install will disable this behavior.
  • A .desktop file will be automatically created here ~/.local/share/applications/VRCX.desktop, if this is undesirable for whatever reason, running with the launch arg --no-desktop will disable this behavior.
  • --x11 to run with xorg.
  • Additional community provided information here.
  • If you have an error starting the AppImage you may need one of these packages, it will vary depending on your distro, if you can already run the AppImage you don't need to install these.
    • zlib1g, fuse, fuse2, libfuse2
  • Sandbox error? run with --no-sandbox.
  • For support we have a Linux support channel on our Discord.

Running VRCX on macOS

Brew

  • Stable brew install vrcx-team/vrcx-tap/vrcx
  • Nightly brew install vrcx-team/vrcx-tap/vrcx@nightly

Manual

  • Download latest .dmg from Releases or Beta/Nightly version available here.
  • If you get the error "App Is Damaged And Can't Be Opened", run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/VRCX.app, blame Apple.
