It provides a comprehensive set of common tools, so that users can focus on making games without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can be exported with one click to a number of platforms, including the major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as well as Web-based platforms and consoles. Free, open source and community-driven Redot is a completely free and open source fork of Godot under the very permissive MIT license. No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. The users' games are theirs, down to the last line of engine code. Redot's development is fully independent and truly community-driven, empowering users to help shape their engine to match their expectations. Redot was forked from Godot in September 2024, intending to improve upon Godot in order to fulfill its potential and contribute to the shared codebase of both through a more genuinely community-driven model than Godot. ### Package name * redot --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * 26 August 2025 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [redotengine.org](https://redotengine.org "https://redotengine.org") --- ### Source code * [github.com/Redot-Engine/redot-engine](https://github.com/Redot-Engine/redot-engine "https://github.com/Redot-Engine/redot-engine") * [github.com/Redot-Engine/org.redotengine.Redot](https://github.com/Redot-Engine/org.redotengine.Redot "https://github.com/Redot-Engine/org.redotengine.Redot") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/Redot-Engine/org.redotengine.Redot/issues](https://github.com/Redot-Engine/org.redotengine.Redot/issues "https://github.com/Redot-Engine/org.redotengine.Redot/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/redot/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Redot Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Redot To install Redot, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install redot --edge ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
