Build the Game (Proton)

The Proton verison of the game can be built in the following ways:

sbox-win-docker

The tool, by vinceTheProgrammer, sbox-wine-docker, simplifies the build process. It is meant to act as single command that can be used to build any instance of the sbox-public repo without needing to configure your build environment beyond installing Docker. The following steps can be used to build s&box from source using sbox-wine-docker:

1. Ensure Docker is installed.
2. Install sbox-wine-docker:

sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinceTheProgrammer/sbox-wine-docker/refs/heads/main/sbox-build -o /usr/local/bin/sbox-build
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sbox-build

You should now have the sbox-build command.

3. Clone the s&box source code:

git clone https://github.com/Facepunch/sbox-public.git

or any fork, provided it has the same structure as the official sbox-public repo.

4. Navigate into the source code repo:

cd sbox-public

5. Run sbox-build and follow its prompts.

6. Run sbox-build again, whenever you need to rebuild after making changes.
