[Solved] Distribution of a game on Linux

[Diehl]

Hello everybody.

I wonder if there is some way of distributing games Löve in "packages" of Linux in formats like tar.gz, or even in .deb or.rpm.

I know it's much simpler to distribute the game in .love and suggest that other people install the Löve on their machines, but it would be very useful to distribute tar.gz, .deb, .rpm, or other formats compatible with Linux.

Thank you for your attention.

"For Linux there is not yet a simple way to distribute your game. The general approach here is to point to the official LÖVE packages at https://www.love2d.org.

There isn't official support for making Linux executables/distributables yet, so the only way is to have everyone who wants the game to get LÖVE and run the .LOVE file.

If you really want to distribute packages for the various distros, the best solution is probably just packaging your game with a small launcher that uses love, and then make your package depend on the love package.

Got it, thank you.
