Could a disclaimer be added that BeamMP will not provide support for these packages. that BeamMP does not guarantee that they work, and that you use them at your own risk?


Some distributions have community-maintained BeamMP packages available.
Keep in mind that these packages are unofficial, and may not always be up-to-date.

- Arch / SteamOS: [`beammp-launcher-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/beammp-launcher-git) *⁽ᴬᵁᴿ⁾*

Install with an AUR helper (i.e. `yay`, `paru`, etc.) or with `makepkg`. SteamOS users should make sure they have disabled read-only with `sudo steamos-readonly disable`


Clone `vcpkg`, bootstrap it and add it to PATH
