Viewing post in [./play.it] Install Celeste on Linux

Hello! :)

So I recently moved from Windows 10 to Linux Pop!_OS and wanted to play Celeste. I downloaded Linux version from here and extracted ZIP file.

To launch the game, you simple need to open the extracted folder and launch file ( Celeste.bin.x86_64 ) and that's all. Everything works great without installing any additional stuff or tweaking. Cheers.

That’s right, ./play.it is not required in any way to play Celeste on Linux ;)

Its purpose is to improve games integration with your system, by relying on the packages manager, using system libraries instead of the shipped ones, providing menu entries, etc. In the case of Celeste, the main upsides are:

using system-provided Mono runtime instead of the shipped ones
using system-provided SDL2 and PNG libraries instead of the shipped ones
work around terminfo Mono bug, cf. https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/6752
work around Mono unpredictable behaviour with non-US locales
