Chinese version support

The launcher automatically enables Chinese version support if your system language is set to zh_cn. You can also manually change the game edition in launcher settings.
GitHub is blocked in China, which affects component downloads. You’ll need to create a custom components index repository with mirrored links and update the repository URL in ~/.local/share/anime-game-launcher/config.json.
1

Fork the components repository

Create your own copy of the components repository.
2

Update download links

Replace all GitHub release URLs with accessible mirror links in your fork.
3

Configure the launcher

Update the components index URL in your launcher’s config.json file to point to your custom repository.
For assistance, contact the developers on Discord or via email.

​
Post-installation

After installation, the launcher will:
  1. Create configuration directory at ~/.local/share/anime-game-launcher
  2. Create cache directory at ~/.cache/anime-game-launcher
  3. Auto-detect your system language
  4. Display the first-run setup wizard
