# Install Distrobox on the Steamdeck
Latest SteamOS (version 3.5 and later) already pre-installed `distrobox` and `podman`.

To run GUI application, add following line to `~/.distroboxrc`.
```sh
xhost +si:localuser:$USER
```
This is needed to ensure the graphical apps can talk to the Xwayland session.

You can now start using `distrobox` on the deck, open the terminal and go:

```sh
distrobox create && distrobox enter
```

Refer to the [quickstart guide](../README.md#quick-start) and to the [usage docs](../usage/usage.md)
And don't forget the [useful tips](../useful_tips.md)!


## SteamOS 3.4 and earlier

To install Distrobox on the steamdeck, we can install both `podman` and `distrobox`
inside the `$HOME` so that containers will survive updates.
