Instalação

O Retroarch está disponível em todas as distribuições por seus empacotamentos próprios, mas devido a facilidade de instalação e pós instalação, ele empacotado em Flatpak é sem sombra de dúvidas a melhor opção.

Instale o suporte a Flatpak com o comando correspondente a sua distribuição.

Para Arch Linux e Manjaro
