open.mp launcher

Made with Electron + React-Native.

Linux

Linux builds use the Electron frontend and launch the official open.mp Windows client through Wine, following the open.mp Linux client CLI flow.

Install

Download one of the Linux packages from Releases:

• Arch / CachyOS / Manjaro: install the pacman package:

sudo pacman -U omp-launcher-*.pacman

• Debian / Ubuntu: install the .deb package:

sudo apt install ./omp-launcher_*.deb

• Fedora / openSUSE: install the .rpm package:

sudo dnf install ./omp-launcher-*.rpm

• Portable: use the .tar.gz archive and run:

./linux-unpacked/omp-launcher

• AppImage: works on systems with FUSE/AppImage support:

chmod +x "Open Multiplayer Launcher-"*.AppImage
./"Open Multiplayer Launcher-"*.AppImage

Linux Requirements

• Wine
• 7z / p7zip
• A Wine prefix containing GTA: San Andreas, SA-MP, and the open.mp launcher

In Settings, set GTA: San Andreas folder in Wine prefix to the GTA install folder inside the prefix, for example:

/home/user/Games/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas

The launcher will find omp-launcher.exe / omp.exe in the same Wine prefix and call it with the Linux CLI arguments documented by open.mp.

Usage:

Use open.mp launcher to enjoy a live, reliable, and populated server list to find any server you want to play on!
Just download it from Releases page and run it!

Development

For all OSes:

• Install Rust for the native Windows injector helper
• Install NodeJS and npm (or yarn or anything else)
  Note: Please make sure you are not using node v20.6, anything else, lower or higher, should work fine.
• Clone repository:

git clone https://github.com/longwaydrivers/linux-launcher

• Prepare for running:

cd launcher
yarn # or any other way you use to install dependecies using your installed package manager
yarn start

yarn electron:build

Linux Electron builds

yarn electron:build:linux   # AppImage
yarn electron:build:pacman  # Arch/CachyOS/Manjaro package

GitHub Actions builds AppImage, tar.gz, deb, rpm, and pacman packages on Linux and publishes them to GitHub Releases for version tags.
