r/linux_gaming on Reddit: How To Install And Use MangoHUD With Game Launched From Steam And Lutris
May 1, 2020 -

Hi everyone.

Since MangoHUD appears to be all the range at the moment.

https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud

I thought I would create a short video on how to install it and use it with games launched through Steam and Lutris.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97p2Ja5D1go&t=1s

As usual for people who prefer a written tutorial, see below:

INSTALLATION

Terminal commands:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/flightlessmango/Ma...

cd MangoHud

./build.sh build

./build.sh package

./build.sh install

USING MANGOHUD WITH STEAM

Right click on a game, choose Properties, click on SET LAUNCH OPTIONS and type in:

MANGOHUD=1 %command%

USING MANGOHUD WITH LUTRIS

Right click on the game, click Configure, navigate to System preferences / System options / Environmental variables and use the following:

Key – MANGOHUD

Value – 1

Click Save.

CUSTOMISING MANGOHUD

Either use parameters listed on the github page or alternatively with a GUI tool called Goverlay.

As always if you found that video helpful, please consider subscribing to support me.

Thanks
