Rewrite

Computer resources are not an all-you-can-eat buffet. The executables weigh on average 103 MB.
That's why in the future, this project is fully switching to a different toolset. With a preference to something that uses Rust as its language. A lighter, more low-level framework would be more suited than Electron.

Download

Windows:

Note

In the future, SteamDepotDownloaderGUI will use the newer, OS-specific builds of DepotDownloader, which no longer needs .NET to be installed before-hand.

Linux:

Arch Linux:

  • There is an AUR package made. this can be installed using yay -S steamdepotdownloadergui-bin. This is not maintained by me!!

Other Linux distros:

  • You'll need unzip, .NET SDK 6.0.

  • Ubuntu:

    sudo apt install unzip dotnet-sdk-6.0

  • Fedora:

    sudo dnf install unzip dotnet-sdk-6.0

  • There are several options, AppImage, and a .zip, for both x64 and arm64.
