what are the easier ways to boot up the game PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEE

(+1)

I found a shortcut! You still do steps A thru E as usual, but I found a way to skip a lot of those steps. First, you gotta go to your files and open up DDLC thru your Linux files. Next, open the "lib" file and find the subfile "linux-x86_64". double click it and select "open with terminal". Once the terminal opens, just follow steps L to P! It will open the same way as it would if you followed the original steps. :)

I tired this but it still says "Ren'Py could not detect that platform it's running on. Please set the RENPY_PLATFORM environment variable to one of "linux-i686" or"linux-x86_64", or "darwin-x86_64" and run this command again." it would be really helpful if u could help me

export RENPY_PLATFORM="linux-x86_64"

Place it inside DDLC.sh  or Type it in terminal before execute it

I tried to do:
export RENPY_PLATFORM="linux-x86_64
But it didn't work. It says ./DDLC.sh: 78: exec: /home/_2345/DDLC-1.1.1-pc/lib/linux-x86_64/DDLC: Exec format error
I'd be super grateful if someone could help

I'm having the exact same problem, been at this stuff for hours now

Okay my bad, place it after shebang

#!/bin/sh
export RENPY_PLATFORM="linux-x86_64"


Does it work ?

I think, and this is just a guess, this means you have an ARM based computer (just type "uname -m" into the terminal to find out), which basically means you can't run this file directly because it's built for a different system. 

The best way to run ddlc on arm chromebooks is box86 with wine. Heres how to do that.  Type in terminal "git clone https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86 ". You can then download the latest tarred release of wine as of right now (7.1) here (to run the ddlc.exe file), and move that to your linux folders. Then type in the terminal "tar -xf wine-7.1-x86.tar.xz", and then type wine to confirm you have wine and that it is properly running, and then type "cd DDLC-1.1.1-pc" (assuming you already downloaded the DDLC zip file and unzipped it, and moved it to linux files), then type "wine ddlc.exe". It will take a bit, but will eventually start running. For some reason when I ran wine ddlc.exe again it would start up with no sound, so I guess you gotta play through the whole game without exiting on the first startup, but other than that I hope you are able to get it to run smoothly, and enjoy! This is a quite a bit of a process, but I can't really find any other ways to get DDLC to run. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.  If you have any problems just let me know, and I'm happy to help.

Hmmm, it's a different story if the proc arch is ARM and not x86 Family.
