# Tailscale on the Steam Deck This process is derived from the [official guide][official-guide], but with some tweaks to make the process smoother and produce an installation that both (1) comes up automatically on boot and (2) survives system updates. ## Installing Tailscale 1. Download the attached `tailscale.sh` and `tailscaled.service` files to your Deck. 2. Copy the `tailscaled.service` file to `/etc/systemd/system/`. 3. Run `sudo bash tailscale.sh` to install Tailscale (or update the existing installation). [official-guide]: https://tailscale.com/blog/steam-deck/
