do you mean the installer?

Open either Konsole or Terminal (depending on whether you are using KDE) then enter the directory that has the file.

then type

sh planeshift_insertactualfilename.bin

so i downloaded planeshift and now its on my browser and when i double click the icon it says i have to open it with something.but what?
btw. i'm using linux.

You have to make it executable. By default Linux doesn't allow you to run downloaded files (opposite to Windows where they are run even without asking you first).

Either right-click on the file and open the Properties window or change permissions on the console. On the Properties window, check the "executable" flag. On the console, run "chmod a+x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.014b.bin".

ok thx i marked execute.but now nothing happens when i open the file.

[Bereror]

Start it from the console ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.014b.bin

If it has problems, you should see some error messages there.

[ignace]

isn't the file i downloaded the console?

[2pacalypse]

I installed it with my OpenSuSE and Ubuntu this way

Code: [Select]

cd <Directory which the installer is inside>
chmod a+x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.014b.bin
./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.014b.bin

try this

Glad to hear that you got the problem solved, ignace :}

We have a stickied Gameplay FAQ and a "Getting Started In-Game" guide that I am currently redoing, so those may be worth a look whenever you have time, as well as the official Player Guide that you can find with your download and on the main website.

Once in-game, you can use the /help channel to ask questions - you can find more information about it through the "In-Game Support and Reporting Abuse" link in my signature.

Never feel shy to ask other people for aid, too, and have fun first and foremost :]

i'm going to take a look in the Gameplay FAQ and the guide.
thanks again!!!
