Since RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 is a Windows game, you must first enable Steam Play if you haven’t done so already.

With Steam Play enabled, the Install button should now be enabled. Click it. Once this is done, you can now link to it from OpenRCT2. To do this, start OpenRCT2, click ``Options`` and navigate to the tab with the wrench. On the bottom of that tab is a widget that you can click to set the directory. A directory browser will now open. Point it to ``/home/<username>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe``.
