Installation from your package manager

Unless you have a good reason not to use it, it is strongly recommended to install Vinegar using Flatpak.

Running Vinegar and Roblox Studio without Flatpak has not been tested extensively and may cause issues that are otherwise non-existant with the Flatpak.

Please verify that your system fulfills the minimum requirements before starting any installation.

The Vinegar community hosts a couple distribution-specific packages to make native installation easier.

Arch Linux and derivatives (AUR)

AUR Package

To install Vinegar, run the following commands:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/vinegar.git
$ cd vinegar
$ makepkg -si

Alternatively install vinegar with an AUR helper.

Gentoo

Gentoo Package

Firstly, make sure the repository module for eselect and git are both installed:

# emerge app-eselect/eselect-repository dev-vcs/git

Then you will need to add the Vinegar overlay:

# eselect repository add "vinegar" git https://github.com/vinegarhq/ebuild.git
# emaint sync

And emerge the package:

# emerge -av games-util/vinegar

Alternatively, you can use the live ebuild by creating a /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/vinegar file with the following content:

games-util/vinegar **

Alpine Linux

Alpine Linux Edge

Vinegar is available from Alpine Linux v3.22 onwards.

# apk add vinegar

NixOS

Nixpkgs Unstable Package

Vinegar’s Nix package resides in the Unstable repository. It can be installed system-wide with environment.systemPackages:

environment.systemPackages = [
  pkgs.vinegar
];

Or just for your user using home.packages via Home Manager:

home.packages = [
  pkgs.vinegar
];

Testing in a temporary shell can also be done using nix shell nixpkgs#vinegar
