Running Vintage Story on Windows can be a seamless experience, since the .NET Framework (That the game runs on top of) is integrated with the OS and can be easily installed. However, the .NET Framework was designed to target Windows platforms only, which means that running Vintage Story on other Operative Systems involves some additional steps.

- When installing mono on Ubuntu/Debian/Raspbian/CentOS/Fedora, please refer to the instructions here.
- When installing mono on ArchLinux or any Arch-based distro (Manjaro, Antergos, etc), refer to the instructions here.
Launching the game
After installing mono, you're ready to start the game.
- Open a new terminal.

The game files also contain a script called install.sh that installs the game in ~/ApplicationData/vintagestory/ and creates a shortcut on your desktop.
