Sober Installation

Requirements

Before using Sober, there are some requirements for your setup to be able to run Sober. The requirements are based on Roblox's official minimum requirements for mobile.
Other requirements include:

  • Hardware:
    • Processor: x86-64 CPU with SSE4.2 support (see more info here)
    • Graphics: Vulkan 1.0 or later, or OpenGL ES 3.0 or later
    • Linux kernel 5.11

If you don’t have Flatpak installed on your system, you can install it by going to Flatpak's setup page and following the guide there.

Instructions

To install

Sober can be found on Flathub:

Download on Flathub

...or through the following commands 
$ flatpak install --user flathub org.vinegarhq.Sober
$ flatpak run org.vinegarhq.Sober

Installing Roblox

After installation, Sober will appear on your home screen/app menu. Open it to start the app. On first-run, you'll be prompted to install Roblox.

There are two installation types: Automatic and Manual. By default, Automatic installation is already checked when you first install Sober. It should be left checked unless you know what you're doing.

Manual installation

To use the manual installation, you need to download an APK application bundle. You should take note on which version of the APK Sober is requesting.

You can download an APK from a trustworthy APK site or mirror. Make sure the service you're using is trustworthy and hasn't tampered with the APK. In case of doubt, you should use the automatic installation instead.

Once the APK is downloaded, select the APK from the file picker.

If you downloaded an APK that contains the base and the x86_64 split individually, make sure that both of the APKs are selected, otherwise it will not be able to install.

Post-Install

You can configure Sober to do things like bringing back the old 'oof' sound, or enabling server location indicators. See our configuration docs for more info.

Uninstalling Sober

To uninstall Sober, run the following command in your terminal:

$ flatpak uninstall org.vinegarhq.Sober

By default, this will keep data. If you're having issues with Sober and you wish to fully reinstall it pass --delete-data before the application ID to do so.
