------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gog On Linux ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This project is a collection of two scripts (and some python libraries) and its goal is to provide an easy to use platform to play gog (http://www.gog.com) games on a GNU/Linux system. Each supported game will be installed using a series of patches provided by http://www.gogonlinux.com team and will be tested and stable to run on most Linux distributions. gog-tux is the GUI client that will be installed, it can be used to log onto a gog.com account and download/install/launch/uninstall the desired gog games. gog-installer is a cli implementation that can be used to install, setup and uninstall gog.com games. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION: To install the desired version of the gogonlinux project, untar the source package (.tar.gz) and execute "python setup.py install" as root. This will setup the required python libraries and install gog-tux and gog-installer on your machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REQUIRED LIBRARIES: To run this software the following python libraries are required: - glade2 - oauth2 (notice the 2, it's important) - requests - certifi The best way to install them is using the pip program, it handles dependencies of python libraries and installs them for you directly. Using a specific distro's package manager sometimes can result in broken libraries that may make the software run differently than intended. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REQUIRED EXTERNAL SOFTWARE: Without the following programs installed on your system you won't be able to install and run the games, so please install them before you run the gog client. - wine (http://www.winehq.org/) is required to run windows (.exe) gog.com games - winetricks is a wine script required to setup some wine games - scummvm (http://www.scummvm.org/) is required for some old adventure games - dosbox (http://www.dosbox.com/) is required for most old dos videogames - innoextract (http://constexpr.org/innoextract/) is required to extract and setup the .exe installers downloaded from gog.com - zenity is required for some installation and launcher scripts for games For an ease of use, please download the aforementioned programs from your distribution's package manager (i.e. apt-get for ubuntu). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMITTING BUGS: If you have any bug to submit or question to ask, feel free to send an e-mail to the author of this project: morgawr@gmail.com
