Install

tar xzf eidos-0.5.1-x86_64-linux.tar.gz
cd eidos-0.5.1-x86_64-linux
./install.sh

The installer copies eidos and eidos-gui into ~/.local/bin
(override with PREFIX=) and runs one privileged command:

sudo setcap cap_sys_admin+ep ~/.local/bin/eidos

That capability is what lets Eidos enable FUSE kernel passthrough.
Without it Eidos still runs, but script-extender plugin DLLs (SKSE and
friends) may fail to load. It lives on the file, so it is wiped by any
reinstall or rebuild - getcap $(command -v eidos) is the check, and
the GUI's Diagnostics tab flags it.

There is no Flatpak or AppImage build, and there cannot be one: a
sandboxed or FUSE-mounted binary cannot carry a file capability. See the
comment in .github/workflows/release.yml for the mechanism.

Requirements

  • x86_64 Linux, glibc 2.39 or newer (built on Ubuntu 24.04)
  • A kernel with FUSE, and fusermount3 available
