Kaon is a utility to help you use UEVR on Linux. It is in a pre-alpha state right now and under heavy development, so expect things to break.

Kaon collects basic anonymous usage information to help inform development; these analytics can be disabled in the settings page.

• Scan games installed via Steam, Heroic, and Itch
• Install any UEVR release, including nightly builds
• Install the .NET runtime in Proton to make UEVR work

• When you install or delete a Steam game, you must restart Steam before Kaon will properly register the change. Otherwise, Steam does not fully flush its configuration to disk, so Kaon cannot read it.
• Flatpak and Snap installations of stores are not supported at the moment; however, support is planned.
• Custom games assume you are launching them using your system's wineprefix (i.e. reads the WINEPREFIX environment variable; if not set, falls back to ~/.wine). If you are using custom wineprefixes for your games, UEVR will not detect them.

You can download the latest release of Kaon on the releases page.

Alternatively, bleeding-edge builds are available via CI. To get them, click on the latest workflow run here and download the AppImage artifact.

You'll need Qt 6.8 installed to build Kaon.

git clone https://github.com/LorenDB/kaon.git
cd kaon
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

./src/kaon

You can also just open CMakeLists.txt as a project in Qt Creator and press Ctrl+R to run the project.
