Steam TUI
WARNING IT'S A FORK
FORKED from original. Publishing is temporary
WARNING END
About
Just a simple TUI client for steamcmd
. Allows for the graphical launching,
updating, and downloading of steam games through a simple terminal client.
Methodology informed by steam-cli.
Usage
Login with steamcmd
first to cache your credentials (don't trust some random app with your passwords):
steamcmd
# Steam> login <user>
# Steam> quit
Launch the binary steam-tui
, and rejoice 🎉. Help is in the client.
Unable to launch games? Pressing space will start a bare-bones steam client (no graphics) in the background and will let you launch games that need steam libraries or have some sort of DRM.
Features not in the help
It's like an Easter egg for reading documentation!
Favourites
Pressing f
will toggle favourites on a game, pressing F
will filter favourite games.
Hiding games
Pressing H
will hide the selected game. Hidden games are recorded in ~/.config/steam-tui/config.json
.
Showing other things (like demos)
You can enable (or hide by exclusion) Game
DLC
Driver
Applications
Config
Demo
Tool
Unknown
, by changing the allowed_games
field in the config.
Requirements
steamcmd
is required to
launch steam-tui, as steam-tui
is essentially just a graphical wrapper for
this program. wine
usage will be attempted if a native Linux game is not
found.
Why ?
Because why not? Also, the Steam client seems to break on my Arch build. I have
a GT 610, and barely anything graphical works- this is a nice work around.
Update, I got rid of the 610 (let's go 1660), but moved to NixOS and Wayland and the steam client still doesn't work lol.
Contributing
At this point, I am very much done with the project. I only really play Kerbal and 5 Dimensional Chess with Multiverse Time Travel, so additional work on this project is moot. If you buy me a coffee, I'd be happy to sink some more time into this.

Thank you to those who have heeded my call for more coffee!
