Re: Newbie trying to figuer out how to install game
Generally, when a file has a .run ending, it's an indicator that it's a shell script. That means running from a terminal in the same directory as the file with the line:
It's possible that you'll need to do this with sudo (if you want to install it system wide rather than just in your /home, for instance), and that you may need to make the file executable.Code:sh ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
If it complains about the file not being executable, you fix it with:
Code:chmod +x et-linux-2.60.x86.run
