I really think this is a good alternative to substance. I tried to install with wine/proton but no joy, theres an SDK missing or something.
I know back in June there was talk of a Linux version. Is that still planned?
Cheers

Hello @karribu and welcome to our community!
The InstaMAT SDK and InstaMAT Pipeline already run on Linux and further support is on the way, however I cannot provide an ETA at this time.
Users on our Discord server have reported that they are able to run InstaMAT through emulation layers on Linux. You might be able to ask them for some assistance on the InstaMAT channel over there.
Thanks!
Here is InstaMat announcement stating Linux support

We’re right at the gate of 2026, so can we please know roughly when InstaMat Studio’s support on Linux is about to come, please? I’m running it in Wine and it works, but it’s got its hiccups and hangs. A native distribution is due to work way better.
Thank you and Happy New Year ![]()
Hello @DonnieAlex,
Providing Linux support for InstaMAT is super important to us, and we’re working as hard as we can to have it out ASAP.
I’m glad to hear that it is working in Wine. We’ll provide more information as soon as we can.
Thanks for your patience, and Happy New Year! ![]()
