The CurseForge app can run on Linux two ways: as an AppImage and as a Debian package (.deb file), therefore the solutions suggested in this article can vary depending on the type of app you have running.


Take me to...

If you are running CurseForge as an AppImage, deep links (which allow the connection between the app and your browser) will not work by default.


Please install the following helper app to allow CurseForge to work with deep links: https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher


The app cannot be uninstalled

If you are running CurseForge as a .deb package and wish to uninstall it, please run the following command first and then proceed to uninstall the app:


sed -i.bak 's/\r$//' /var/lib/dpkg/info/curseforge.postrm


If you are running CurseForge as an AppImage process, no uninstallation is required - simply deleting the CurseForge.AppImage file will suffice.


Game won't get detected/added

The app currently supports Minecraft: Java Edition and World of Warcraft.

Mods for other games can be downloaded through the CurseForge website: https://www.curseforge.com/games
