Set up PokeMMO on Ubuntu, without using snap cause we hate proprietary software!
Intended for personal use, made as an excercise.
Officially support Debian based distributions.
The script doesn't really have "requirements", most of the tools should come preinstalled in most Linux distros.
Here some of the utilities you might need in case you see some strange errors: wget, unzip and zenity.
Please note the script will not install Java SDK, you can choose which version you prefer before or after installing the game ( Quick-fix: sudo apt install default-jdk ) .
Execute the following one-liner or download and run the script, then follow the prompts.
Bash one-liner: wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Balzabu/PokeMMO-Installer/main/PokeMMO-Installer.sh | bash <(cat) </dev/tty
Once you execute the Installer you will be asked on which folder you want to install the game.
The Installer will try to default to $HOME/.PokeMMO; in case you want to use a Custom Path simply create it before executing the Installer.
After the game .ZIP has been downloaded and extracted, the script will then create two Desktop Entries:
- One to run the game.
- One to uninstall the game.
You can also uninstall the game through the command uninstall_pokemmo that gets added to your $HOME/.local/bin folder. Once the game is uninstalled all the Desktop Entries and scripts will be removed, leaving the system fully clean.
There's also another version here on GitHub made by one of the official developers of PokeMMO, @coringao: PokeMMO Installer for GNU/Linux. It's pretty old but should still work fine, so in case of any problems check his project!
