ok so I really looked every where and it said it being google that I have to use the terminal to start it which I've never used before Is that where I type in what you said?
Viewing post in I don't know how to start a game on Linux 64
If you use Linux, it's best to learn how to use the terminal.
And yes, the command I gave you is to be used in a terminal, after giving it permission to execute, you simply have to enter the name of the executable and press enter.
Depending on the Linux distro and graphical environment you use, you may be able to do the same with the mouse.
You can try right click -> properties -> "permissions" tab -> check "is executable"
And then with a double click it should run.
You need to replace <filename> with the name of the executable you downloaded.
For example, if the game is called "andromata" and when you download it and unzip it, you see a file called "andromata", your command should be like this:
chmod +x andromata
and then to run
./andromata
EDIT: What is the game?
Sorry, but 700 MB to download is not something I can afford just to have a look at the files.
If the game is called "nix", then the executable is probably called "nix" too.
I saw that you asked on the page and I see that the author usually answers, so you better be patient and wait for the author to answer you.
Good luck.
