Installation worked but when i execute steamtinkerlaunch launcher this error pops and the launcher does not launch.
As the error points out, your Steam userdata directory cannot be found (in almost every valid OS case, this is at least ~/.steam/root), so you should expect things to not work :-) In fact, no Steam installation data can be found by STL. This is incredibly unusual and the first time I have seen this issue with STL.
From reading the log, it looks like something is wrong with your Steam installation. The paths ~/.steam/root and ~/.steam/steam don't appear to exist, so STL cannot function because it cannot find Steam installation information. Please make sure you have Steam installed and launched at least once. Are you perhaps trying to use SteamTinkerLaunch without Steam installed?
If you have Steam currently installed and previously launched with at least one user logged in, and the error persists, please post your Steam installation path.
If i use the application shortcut "Steam Tinker Launch (settings)" it looks like something's missing
As a side-note: You shouldn't use this. This is equivalent to launching steamtinkerlaunch settings, which launches the settings menu for the most recent game. There is never really a need to use this unless you're developing something related to STL. Is there a reason you're using it?
SteamTinkerLaunch is only intended to be used from the command-line and from the Steam client. Very little of value can be done from this menu when it is not used with a game launch. Though currently a game launch will not work in your case because SteamTinkerLaunch cannot find where Steam is installed, which usually indicates either that Steam has never been launched/no user is/has ever been logged into Steam, or that there is a distribution packaging issue.
First, I hope i didn't forgot something while installing !
To this end I think you're fine. It's probably something wrong with a missing Steam installation, or a distribution issue.
This has come up before, so as a courtesy: SteamTinkerLaunch is only for use with Steam, and only for use by Steam users. If you try to use SteamTinkerLaunch functions with games managed outside of Steam (such as Vortex Mod Manager), then the short answer is don't.
