Thought I'd already left this comment. This appears to be only the Linux version of Principia. Can you change the identifier, filename, name and abstract to reflect that?

[dbent]

Doesn't Prinicipia require system-wide native dependencies to be installed?

[zilti]

No, it's a universal, complete zip with everything needed to use it. I tried the package on both Windows and Linux. (There's currently no macOS build)

[politas]

Oh, great! Last time I got Principia, there were still sepaate downloads, and you had to go to the IRC channel to find the link.

The main forum thread appears to be http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/162200-wip122-principia - Can you make that the "homepage"? Also, the latest release is 2017062403-Cauchy, so it would probably be best to use that one.

Zilti, have you contacted the mod author(s) and asked them about listing on CKAN?

[HebaruSan]

The authors of this mod prefer not to be indexed. Closing.

Just noting for posterity the proof that this is false in case it comes up again:

Windows users

If you get the message "Dependencies, namely the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable, were not found", well, you need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable.

Mac users

You need Sierra or later.

Linux users

You need libc++ and libc++abi 8.

"Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable", "Sierra or later", and "libc++ and libc++abi 8" are the specific system-wide native dependencies that are required to run Principia, as noted in that mod's own documentation.

Also the issue for adding such a feature is KSP-CKAN/CKAN#1739.
