How do I install it?

TheImado · 05-07-2010, 12:14 AM

I have had Kubuntu for a little while, so I'm not entirely new. But I can't figure out how to start the installer. I downloaded the 32bit linux installer, but its not a deb file or tar file (it doesn't have any file extension in the name)....properties says it is an executable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that for Windows. It wont install with Wine, so I am at a loss here.

I am updated to Kubuntu 10.04 also, but I doubt that is causing any problems.

I would appreciate any help in getting the game installed, I would really like to try it!

Thanks

Right click on the flle, go to Properties, then the permissions tab and check the "Allow executing file as program" check box. Double clicking the file should then start the install.

Hope that helps, and welcome to RO.

You can also use the command line and do a:

sudo chmod a+x "filename"

If it is saved in a location that you do not have exact permissions to modify. Otherwise copy it to your home directory and follow Acknor's recommendation.

I can't run the archive.

I use ubuntu 10.04 64 bits, and i download the 64 bits version.

In console...

javi@javi-laptop:~/regnum$ sudo chmod a+x RegnumOnlineInstall64
javi@javi-laptop:~/regnum$ sudo ./RegnumOnlineInstall64
./RegnumOnlineInstall64: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
javi@javi-laptop:~/regnum$

Did you download it using torrent or http?

I would assume your download is corrupted.
Please try to download it again.

A better choice would be using torrents, since that will assure you a valid download.

Probably nothing to do with it but i don't see why you need to be super user to install it .... i'd go for :

Code:

javi@javi-laptop:~/regnum$ ./RegnumOnlineInstall64
