I can't figure out how to run games downloaded from itch.io on Linux MInt [closed]
I downloaded the file, and extracted it, but i cant figure out how to run it. It is pretty straightforward on wondows, their is an exe file. But i cant figure it out on linux.
Knowing what game would help. Is there no readme or documentation? Try this:
In the extracted files you need to find the executable. Standard practice is to place these in a subdirectory called "bin". If you have nothing like that, you can use find
or ls
commands with various filters to recursively search for executable binaries (for example).
Once you find the executable file, you can run it using ./[filename]
. So if the filename is "awesomeGame.sh" then you would run ./awesomeGame.sh
from the local directory of that file.
