How do I install on Linux system?

Post by YounYokel »

Hey, I just setted up my Linux system and I was just trying to install the LÖVE using this command:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bartbes/love-stable
After installation it didn't appear or whatever. I tried to use love2d, love-stable commands in terminal but nothing. Is there any more ways for this?

My dist. is ElementaryOS. Works perfectly, I assume.

Thanks.

You did not install love yet, you just added the repository to apt. Try

Code: Select all

sudo apt install love

Oh, that's funny because it was my first thought to do that. Then I tried this I didn't recognised the packages and thought that it was some kind of system application. Silly me))

Thank you! =3

What's your graphics card? Do you have GL drivers for it? Does glxgears work for you? Also, the output of: 'glxinfo | grep string' (without the quotes) would be useful. Both are in package mesa-utils.

Edit: swrast is the software rasterizer (software OpenGL). That sounds like you don't have drivers for your card, but then I would say that the software GL should have worked (slow, of course).

Gears worked well but something probably was wrong with default drivers package. I reinstalled my NVIDIA drivers via terminal and it worked after that. Thanks =3
