first of all, yaourt is pacman wrapper, i.e. with yaourt you can only install packages in arch repos + aur. since regnum is neither you can't do that.
second, -Ss argument searches the repos, in your case for regnum so even if it was in repos you can't install it with -Ss, only -S.
third, to install RO do following:

Code:

chmod +x RegnumOnlineInstall_32
./RegnumOnlineInstall_32

You must perform those commands in the same directory as the file you downloaded.

Right click in the file, go to properties and check "executable" or something like that. Then run the installer.

in the tab "Permission" there is probably a option to allow the programm to be executed. You just have to activate this option. A click or double click on the installer file should execute it (except u use the 64bit Archlinux).

Btw. to get sound in Regnum u probably have to install openal. To do this type "pacman -S openal" as root in a terminal.

easiest solution for you: get debian/ubuntu. everything works out of the box there, even regnum

no, ubuntu is better for YOU. actually, windows xp is the best solution for you since it's obvious you've no clue about computers. ask your brother to make a new partition on the hdd and to put on winxp or ubuntu on it so you can play games with no hussle.

The file was downloaded in my home desktop... Going to my Home folder then clicking the desktop folder thing.

I went and opened the homefolder then going to the desktop folder thing and then i opened terminal and it just says the same thing.... Please help.

Okay, first of all, go to your terminal and type:

Code:

getconf LONG_BIT

It should say 32 or 64. You should use the RegnumOnlineInstaller_XX that matches.

Now in the terminal, you must move from your home directory to the location of the installer you downloaded. If you can't tell where it is, you can search for it:

Code:

find ~ -name 'RegnumOnlineInstall_32'

You'll get something that looks like /path/to/RegnumOnlineInstall_32. Change to this directory (replace /path/to with what you got from the find command):

Code:

cd /path/to

To confirm that you're in the right place, ls RegnumOnlineInstall_* should list the file instead of showing an error message.

Now you can execute the commands in Nightchill's post:

Code:

chmod +x RegnumOnlineInstall_32
./RegnumOnlineInstall_32

Sorry for not being clear. You should completely replace the /path/to part with result of your find command, as in:

Code:

cd /home/myname/Desktop

(Put your real name back of course

You must remove the filename at the end to get its directory.

Just type in

Code:

cd /home/myname/Desktop

exactly.
