How to install on Pixelbook (Linux)

Hi All

  How to I install the game? I have a terminal open and the unzipped game is in the same directory. What command do I use etc?

Thanks in advance.

All I had to do was run was `chmod -x ./Celeste64`. After that, you can either double click `Celeste64` in a file manager (if supported) or type `./Celeste64` in a terminal to start the game.

Installing the game systemwide might take more effort, since it seems like this was made to be a portable installation. Possible steps include:

  • Patching the source code to read resources from `/usr/local/share/celeste64/` instead of `./Content` and rebuilding the game
  • Moving the contents of `Content` to `/usr/local/share/celeste64/`
  • Moving the game executable to `/usr/local/bin/`
  • Ensuring all libraries are installed correctly (especially `libFosterPlatform.so`)
  • Writing a .desktop file

Thanks. Looks like the dreaded classpath related error when I run it. Seems things never change much. Onwards.

I recommend the official itch client, works fine on my distribution https://itch.io/app
