What is a mod manager?
It's quite simple really, a mod manager is an application to make it easier to control which mods you have installed.
You can choose to update, enable/disable or even uninstall mods with a simple click, all whilst keeping it available on another profile.
Installing
Windows
- Click "Manual Download".
- Inside the downloaded.zip file. Run the "r2modman Setup X.X.X.exe" (where X.X.X is the current version).
- Follow the steps in the installer.
Linux
If you are on Linux, please do not install the.exe files of r2modman. Instead, use one of the following methods:
Steam Deck
The Steam Deck relies on Flatpak installations if you'd like to use r2modman in game mode.
If you prefer to run the manager in desktop mode, you can use either the Flatpak (recommended) or the AppImage.
Flatpak and AppImage
- Click "Manual Download".
- Extract the downloaded.zip file.
- Inside the extracted folder, there will be:
- A flatpak-setup.sh file. Run this script if you want to install r2modman via Flatpak. (Recommended).
- An AppImage file for regular usage. This file may need to be marked as executable (chmod +x.AppImage).
The flatpak-setup.sh script consists of:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists r2builds
flatpak install io.github.ebkr.r2modman
You will need elevated privileges (sudo) to run the flatpak-setup.sh script or the commands as listed above.
If you'd prefer not to use sudo/elevated privileges to install the Flatpak, then you can run the following manually:
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists r2builds
flatpak install --user io.github.ebkr.r2modman
Platform-specific builds
_If you'd prefer to install platform specific builds then you can find them under the latest GitHub release on the ebkr/r2modmanPlus repository_
Platform builds:
- deb
- rpm
- pacman
- tar.gz
You can access the list of release files here:
_Problems with Linux builds should be reported in the r2modman discord._
Note
- Temporary workaround to force Proton on Linux systems
- Place a.forceproton file in the game directory whilst a solution is in development
Updating
r2modman will automatically download any available updates whilst you use it.
If an update has been downloaded, it will be installed once you have closed the application.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. Hades II uses the game's built-in mod import — unzip the pack and place it where the readme says.
