Installation

Regular Installation

Ideally, the latest PowerTools release can be installed from https://beta.deckbrew.xyz/ after installing PluginLoader.

  1. If you haven't yet, set a Linux password for your deck account: in a terminal (e.g. Konsole), run passwd. Your password will not show up for security reasons, but it is still registering your key presses.
  2. If you haven't yet, install PluginLoader by following steps 1-7: https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/PluginLoader#installation
  3. In gaming mode, open Chrome and go to https://beta.deckbrew.xyz/
  4. Find & install PowerTools from the list. The Quick Access menu should pop up to confirm you'd like to install it (sometimes it takes a few tries for the pop up to appear).
  5. Wait for PowerTools to download and the PluginLoader to load it.

Manual Installation

If you are having trouble with getting that to work, you can install the latest release from GitHub manually as follows.

  1. Do steps 1 & 2 from Regular Installation
  2. Navigate your Steam Deck's terminal to the plugins folder: run cd ~/homebrew/plugins
  3. Clone the PowerTools GitHub repository: run sudo git clone https://github.com/NGnius/PowerTools/

Using additional git commands, different PowerTools versions (latest dev version, older releases, etc.) can be installed instead.
