Jackify - User Guide

New to Jackify? Read our Home to understand what Jackify is and why it exists.

Jackify automates the installation, configuration, and Steam integration of Wabbajack modlists on Linux and Steam Deck. Use the guides below for your scenario.

IMPORTANT: Most modlists are not officially supported on Linux. Do not contact the modlist author for support unless they explicitly support Linux. For Linux-specific help, use the #unofficial-linux-help channel on the Wabbajack Discord.
