Install

Manual Install

Download the latest AppImage from releases

Install it with an AppImage manager, my recommendation would be GearLever, but other alternatives like AppImageLauncher also works

Quick Install

run the following script in terminal:

curl -L https://github.com/aarron-lee/crunchyroll-linux/raw/master/install.sh | sh

Steam Deck / Bazzite / ChimeraOS Installation

Follow the regular install instructions, but afterwards also add it to Steam as a non-Steam game.

The app should have basic controller support working, but if you prefer to use Steam Input to manage navigation, make sure to disable Game Controller Support in the Crunchyroll app's settings, and set a controller config in Steam Input.

Then, in game mode, make sure to enable a Steam input community controller layout. It might require you to show all available layouts while selecting the layout.

I've tested the Streaming Controls Steam input community layout by Bleiodes, which works fairly well.

Also, in the Steam Game settings for the app, set the resolution as 1080p. The App was not designed for higher resolutions, you may see visual bugs at higher than 1080p resolutions.

Controller Support

Note that the app has built in native game controller support.

However, I personally find that I prefer Steam Input for controller management, rather than the native game controller support.

To use Steam Input do the following:

  1. first login to the crunchyroll app
  2. In the Crunchyroll app settings, disable the game controller support setting
  3. In Steam, make sure Steam Input is enabled for the crunchyroll app.
  4. Either use a community controller profile
  5. Alternatively, map the following keyboard keys for the minimal mappings required for navigation:
  • Enter to A (Playstation X)
  • Esc to B (Playstation Circle)
  • D-pad to Keyboard arrow keys

Development

node and npm are required dependencies.

run npm start for to run the app.

There is no hot-reloading, so you must re-run the command after code changes are made.

Build

run npm run electron-build

This will generate an AppImage in electron/dist
