Installation

(Optional) Unrar

Limo uses libarchive in order to extract compressed mods. Because this currently does not work for certain RAR5 archives, you can optionally install the unrar package and enter the path to its binary into the Limo settings dialog (if not detected automatically). Unfortunately unrar is not open source software and seems to be the only reliable way to unpack those archives.

On Debian based systems unrar can be installed like this:

sudo apt install unrar

Build from source
