Hey there!

I don't really have a good grasp on Linux but I have some experience with it (and yes I do know Kali Linux, but only a tiny bit).

Currently, I'm assuming that you have not taken a look at the wiki. Please take a look here: https://love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started

Kali Linux is based on Debian, so search for how to install it on Debian as that should work on Kali too.

First off, are you sure you really want to install LÖVE in Kali Linux? I don't know what you are using it for, but beware that Kali Linux is not meant to be used as a normal desktop system.

For example, by default it only has one user, the superuser "root", which should not be used for normal usage. Kali Linux is aimed for penetration testing where many tools require superuser rights. Read more on the Kali Documentation: http://docs.kali.org/introduction/shoul ... kali-linux

I recommend using some other Linux distribution for normal usage.


If you (or whoever finds this post at some point) still want to install LÖVE on Kali Linux, read on.

If an older version of LÖVE (0.9.1) suffices for you, it is included in the repositories and you can install it like any other program in the repositories. Type the following in Terminal:

Code: Select all

apt install love

If you want the newest version (0.10.2), you need to do something else. As Kali Linux is based on Debian, it looks like you can use the .deb packages that are provided for Ubuntu (also based on Debian). Download the packages love and liblove on the LÖVE main page and install them in Terminal. Run these in the directory where you downloaded the .deb files (the filenames depend on whether they are 32-bit or 64-bit, choose according to your system).

Code: Select all

dpkg -i liblove0_0.10.2ppa1_i386.deb

The previous command will say that not all dependencies are installed. Here's how to install them:

Code: Select all

apt-get -f install

Finally, install the love itself.

Code: Select all

dpkg -i love_0.10.2ppa1_i386.deb

Now you should be able to run

Code: Select all

love

(at least I could in Kali 2016.2).

Another way could be to install LÖVE via their custom PPA repository, but it looked tedious on Kali Linux. https://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/02/21 ... epository/

Thanks guys, I was able to install love, on the system, I'm using it because the computer does not allow installing another linux system and I do not want any more windows

what do you mean it doesn't allow installing a different linux system?
I can't imagine a system that would/could restrict you like that, or do you mean you cannot install two linux-es side by side?

There are a lot of UEFI bootloaders and they should be available on nearly all linux distributions (by now): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ca ... ot_loaders

For example I am running Arch Linux with systemd-boot right now. Since ubuntu has also switched to systemd, I imagine you could set it up the same as well. I am also dual-booting windows with this setup, and it works very well.

thx, i will install

I've compiled it from source some months ago in a debian install. Just download the source from the bitbucket page cloning the repo. Then use the install script! Remember to install the missing dependencies!
