“failsafe”
typing the wrong appid or setting the wrong folders
nothing happens.
really, the script will fail before breaking anything.
my personal PROTON script.
download the files from github mf-install-master.zip
put them in a folder anywhere, i prefer in steamapps main directory for further reference.
this is my personal PROTON script. yours will need to change the directories
run as
./mf-installP.sh APPID#

i could use $HOME as a user, but many people have .steam installed in different locations
its better to note they should change this to their directory path than try to setup a perfect variable solution
