Installing on Linux
Download the package format that matches your distribution. We support Debian/Ubuntu (.deb), Fedora/Red Hat (.rpm), and AppImage for many Linux systems.
Prerequisites
- OBS Studio 28+ installed (30+ recommended)
- Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and Red Hat-based distributions
- AppImage support for many Linux systems
- Internet connection for plugin metadata and downloads
Download options
Recommended for most users: AppImage. Advanced options: .deb and .rpmfor distribution-specific installs.
Linux downloads
Download OBS Plugin Installer for Linux using the main button. Choose .deb or .rpm only when your distribution requires it.
Other options: .deb • .rpm
If the download does not start, please try again.
Install steps
Debian / Ubuntu (.deb)
Download the .deb and install it with apt.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ./obs-plugin-installer_amd64.debFedora / Red Hat (.rpm)
Download the .rpm and install it with dnf.
sudo dnf install ./obs-plugin-installer.rpmAppImage (portable)
Make the file executable and run it directly.
chmod +x obs-plugin-installer.AppImage
./obs-plugin-installer.AppImageFirst launch and OBS detection
Launch the app and let it scan for OBS Studio. If you use OBS via Flatpak or a non-standard install, you may need to grant file access permissions or select the path manually.
Troubleshooting
AppImage won't start (missing FUSE)
On Ubuntu 22.04+, you may need libfuse2.
sudo apt install libfuse2OBS not detected
If OBS is installed via Flatpak, ensure the installer has access to the Flatpak directory or choose the OBS path manually.
Permission denied
Confirm you have write access to ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/ or the relevant plugin directory for your OBS install.
