Hey, guys!
I'm a Linux user too and I've been having some trouble installing DDLC.
I downloaded the game and extracted it. Then, I tried to run it using the EXE file, but it didn't work. So I decided to find some help online, that's why I'm here.
Anyway, I tried also to run it (I just double clicked the DDLC.sh file), but it gave me this:
#!/bin/sh
SCRIPT="$0"
# Resolve the chain of symlinks leading to this script.
while [ -L "$SCRIPT" ] ; do
LINK=$(readlink "$SCRIPT")
case "$LINK" in
/*)
SCRIPT="$LINK"
;;
*)
SCRIPT="$(dirname "$SCRIPT")/$LINK"
;;
esac
done
# The directory containing this shell script - an absolute path.
ROOT=$(dirname "$SCRIPT")
ROOT=$(cd "$ROOT"; pwd)
# The name of this shell script without the .sh on the end.
BASEFILE=$(basename "$SCRIPT" .sh)
if [ -z "$RENPY_PLATFORM" ] ; then
case "$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" in
Darwin-*)
RENPY_PLATFORM="darwin-x86_64"
ROOT1="$ROOT/../Resources/autorun"
ROOT2="$ROOT/../../.."
;;
*-x86_64|amd64)
RENPY_PLATFORM="linux-x86_64"
ROOT1="$ROOT"
ROOT2="$ROOT"
;;
*-i*86)
RENPY_PLATFORM="linux-i686"
ROOT1="$ROOT"
ROOT2="$ROOT"
;;
*)
echo "Ren'Py could not detect that platform it's running on. Please set"
echo "the RENPY_PLATFORM environment variable to one of \"linux-i686\" or"
echo "\"linux-x86_64\", or \"darwin-x86_64\" and run this command again."
exit 1
;;
esac
fi
for BASE in "$ROOT" "$ROOT1" "$ROOT2"; do
LIB="$BASE/lib/$RENPY_PLATFORM"
if test -d "$LIB"; then
break
fi
done
for BASE in "$ROOT" "$ROOT1" "$ROOT2"; do
if test -e "$BASE/$BASEFILE.py"; then
break
fi
done
if ! test -d "$LIB"; then
echo "Ren'Py platform files not found in any of $ROOT, $ROOT1 or $ROOT2!"
echo "Please compile the platform files using the instructions in README.md"
echo "or point them to an existing installation using ./after_checkout.sh <path>."
exit 1
fi
if test -n "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"; then
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LIB:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
fi
exec $RENPY_GDB "$LIB/$BASEFILE" $RENPY_PYARGS -EO "$BASE/$BASEFILE.py" "$@"
It seems I'm not using the right program to open it. But, well, I don't know which program I should be using then. I tried literally all the ones I've got. Some of them (like VLC) even gave some images (like Monikas.chr image etc).
Am I doing it right?
I also tried using the terminal to run the DDLC.sh, but it says "File or directory not found".
kreeperskid said it wasn't in the right directory. So, I tried moving the DDLC.sh file to the file named "game". Then, I tried running it again, in the Terminal, but nothing happened.
So I tried to follow Ocean_22's steps.
Download the windows version. Check.
Extract it. Check.
Go to the folder that contains all the games files. Check.
Right click, "open in terminal". This option is not available. When I right click it, I can: open, open with..., cut, move, link, compress, anything but open in terminal. Either way, I opened the Terminal.
Then type in "./DDLC.sh" and press enter. Check. Typed /DDLC.sh (without the quotation marks). But again it says: "File or directory not found".
I don't know why it isn't oppening, so pls, if anyone could help me, I would be really glad.

If your file manager doesn't support opening your folder in a terminal, open a terminal somewhere else and type in
cd "/path/to/DDLC"
and replace "path/to/DDLC" with your actual file path to DDLC from your file manager address bar. The quotes are necessary if your file have spaces in it.
Then, when you are at the DDLC folder, run
./DDLC.sh
The . (dot) at the beginning is important, as it tells the terminal to run the file named DDLC.sh at current directory.
Yeah, like the other guy said. That command will run the game, but you aren't in the right folder!
As a quick run down:
That .sh file is a script that runs the game. When you opened it and it came up with all that text? That is the script that makes the game launch. You are just looking at the programming that makes that possible.
A lot depends on your distro. On Linux Mint (what I used to use before moving to Ubuntu) you can right click a .sh file and mark "allow executing file as program" and then just double click the .sh file, and it'll run. Some distros don't really do this, because making you run it though terminal keeps users more safe.
Anyways. You are going to have to learn a very small bit of terminal to launch this game. Pretty much, you need to navigate in the terminal to the folder you have all the game files in, then type in "./DDLC.sh" and press enter.

That should help. All you need is pwd, cd, and ls. (you don't have to type the dollar sign)
Just read #2, #3, and #4)
If in the future you do just wanna play the game by double clicking an icon, open up your terminal and run this:
nano ~/Desktop/DDLC.desktop
and paste in this:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Exec=~/DDLC/DDLC.sh Name=Doki-Doki Literature Club Category=Games
then, finally...
chmod a+x ~/Desktop/DDLC.desktop
Hi, you have to set the viewing of the files to icons, and then you have to click on the window, not over a file. Then the option "open in terminal" appears.
> bash: nano: command not found
Depends on your distro. Ubuntu/mint:
sudo apt-get install nano
Redhat/Fedora:
yum install nano
Running from terminal, you do "ls", the file must be listed, the do:
bash DDLC.sh
or, if DDLC.sh is in your current directory and it is executable, precede it with ./ (or else Linux will only search for it in directories in PATH):
./DDLC.sh
