A more comprehensive description of tools setup would be appreciated

Dear persons in the know,

the wiki gives a good explanation on how to start modding with Limo. So far I've installed a few mods and it works! Now I want to setup some tools such as bodyslide and Pandora. But I can't get it to work: when choosing native runtime it reports 'permission denied', and it can't seem to start Wine either. Moreover, what deployer needs to be chosen and which working directory for the reverse deployer? It would be great if this could be added to the wiki as well. Thanks in advance!

The wiki currently lacks information about newer features like reverse deployers. I will add chapters for those in the future.

Probably the best way to set up a reverse deployer for Skyrim is to set the target directory to the same directory your Bin deployer points to (the one containing SkyrimSE.exe). Make sure to enable Use ignore list to exclude all vanilla files.

As for tools: It's usually best to set the mode to Guided and runtime to Wine. Then use the directory containing the tool's executable as working directory and simple enter the name of the executable into the Tool executable field. Here is a example for Nemesis:

Edit: Some tools (like xEdit) need to be run inside the game's prefix. Use the Protontricks runtime if a tool complains that it cannot find your Skyrim installation.

Not sure what causes the permission issues. Are you using the Flatpak version of Limo? If so: Make sure Limo can talk to org.freedesktop.Flatpak. This should always be the case unless you changed it manually.

Dear Chris, Thank you for your reply. I had missed the popped-up drop-down menu when selecting protontricks. After realising this and selecting flatpack, both Pandora and Bodyslide work without any problem. It doesn’t seem to matter what the working directory is for bodyslide, both the ‘data’ folder as well as the ‘/Calientetools/bodyslide’ folder work. I have actually no other deployer set up than the ones in the wiki. So no reverse deployment. Despite this, Pandora and Bodyslide find the relevant mods just fine. They work flawlessly as far as I can tell but I still have a lot of testing to do. I want to thank you for this awesome mod manager. The deployers and the root level require some thinking, and some mods need manual adjustment of the staging folders. But that aside, it works fantastic. And miles better (and faster!) than MO2 and Vortex, at least on the Steam Deck. I hope you keep developing this tool. It is awesome.
