You need to extract the contents from the .zip file. Depending on your desktop environment you can usually double click it to open it in Ark or similar or if you are comfortable with a terminal it is as easy as:
- Code: Select all
mkdir SlimeRancher
cd SlimeRancher
unzip ~/Download/SlimeRancher.zip
of course replace
~/Download/SlimeRancher.zip with wherever you downloaded the file. Chrome and Firefox will usually put the files in the Downloads directory of your home (hence the "~" part of the path)
Then, since .zip files doesn't save permissions (devs please compress in .tar.gz .tar.bz2 or .tar.xz!) you will have to make the game actually runable:
- Code: Select all
chmod +x SlimeRancher.x86*
Then you can double click that file or from your terminal (assuming you are still in the game's directory)
- Code: Select all
./SlimeRancher.x86
if you are running a 32-bit kernel or
- Code: Select all
./SlimeRancher.x86_64
if you are running a 64-bit kernel
Don't know? type this in the terminal:
- Code: Select all
uname -m
under mine it spits out
x86_64. You may also see x86, i386,i486,i586,i686 which all mean 32-bit or things like amd64 for which you'd use the 64-bit one.
