# WIKI UNDER COMPLETE REWORK # Jackify
Jackify is a Linux application for installing and configuring Wabbajack modlists on Linux and Steam Deck. It automates the entire process — downloading, installing, Steam shortcut creation, Proton prefix setup, and post-install configuration — through both a GUI and a full-featured CLI.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Most modlists are not officially supported on Linux. A successful installation does not guarantee the modlist will work on your system. For Linux-specific help, use [#unofficial-linux-help](https://discord.gg/wabbajack) on the Wabbajack Discord — do not contact the modlist author unless they explicitly support Linux.

# Jackify - Linux Modlist Management ## Getting Started
Welcome to Jackify, a Linux and Steam Deck solution for Wabbajack modlist management!
## What is Jackify?
Jackify is a native Linux application that automates the entire process of installing, configuring, and managing Wabbajack modlists on Linux systems and Steam Deck. Gone are the days of fighting with WINE, WebView issues, or manual setup scripts - Jackify handles all the technical complexity for you.
Jackify is hobby project - keep that in mind when asking for support or reporting issues. It is currently in early development with the first public alpha release now available. The WILL BE BUGS and improvements made over time - for example the GUI is functional, but needs work.
### The Journey from bash scripts to full automation
If you're coming from the world of my previous Wabbajack-on-Linux scripts, you'll hopefully appreciate what Jackify brings to the table. For those familiar with the old process, you'll remember the pain points: Inconsistent success rates of running Wabbajack via Proton or WINE, UI bugs, Steam Library detection issues and more. Jackify aims to eliminate all of them.
I've taken all that I have experienced in the last couple of years, worked closely with long-standing regular members of the "Wabbajack on Linux" community to create an application that, hopefully, "just works". A huge thanks to the community members that have helped in brainstorming and testing the application throughout development so far.
### Key Benefits
- **Simple Modlist Installation**: Install modlists with minimal user input - just select your modlist, set your directories, and let Jackify handle the rest
- **Automatic Steam Integration**: Creates and configures Steam shortcuts automatically with proper Proton settings, launch options, and even custom artwork where available
- **Interface Options**: Both GUI and CLI options available, designed with usability in mind rather than just functionality
- **Game Support**: Works with modlists for Skyrim, Fallout 4, New Vegas, Oblivion, Enderal, and more, with ongoing expansion of supported games
