  Be careful to download the Linux game build, not the Windows build, the Linux ARM64 build, or the dedicated server.

  The extracted content is the game folder. You can extract it to your Desktop or Downloads folder.

• Find MacroMicroVRService.sh in the game folder and enable "Is executable" in its properties.

• Alternatively, open a terminal in the extracted game folder and type chmod +x MacroMicroVRService.sh.

• Start Steam on your computer and sign in.
• Open Steam Link in the headset and follow the on-screen instructions to connect it to your computer.

Launch the game

• Connect the headset to your computer through Steam Link.
• Run ./MacroMicroVRService.sh from the extracted game folder.

Optional: Add the game to Steam

You can add MacroMicroVRService.sh as a "Non-Steam Game" in the Steam app.
