Cannot install openmw in Mint 15

Post by tossman101 »

Hello,

Just discovered this awesome project and decided to give it a whirl. I am using Linux Mint 15, so I followed the installation steps for Ubuntu found here. When issuing the "sudo apt-get install openmw openmw-launcher" command I receive this error:
"E: Unable to locate package openmw
E: Unable to locate package openmw-launcher".
I doubled checked the PPAs list in Software Sources and it lists both openmw/openmw and openmw/openmw (Sources). I have tried clean up APT to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may sound silly, but did you run apt-get update after adding the ppa?

Thanks for the suggestion, I was considering that but ended up upgrading my system to Mint 17 for another reason, I am actually in the middle of figuring out where the openmw.cfg file is so I can add the .bsa files for Tribunal and Bloodmoon to it. Install worked like a charm.

*Update* Apparently, you no longer need to add the .bsa files for Tribunal and Bloodmoon to the openmw.cfg file?
