Ubuntu download (for Linux Mint 17.1)

Post by drohrstestes »

The closest download is here:
https://openmw.org/downloads/

Ubuntu is the closest to Linux Mint 17.1 but i cannot seem to download anything from you first part of the set lup here:
https://launchpad.net/~openmw/+archive/ubuntu/openmw

If you click READ ABOUT INSTALLING you see that you need to run this in the terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-dailey/ppa

I get this result:

drohr@drohr-Aspire-M3450 ~ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-dailey/ppa
[sudo] password for drohr:
Cannot add PPA: 'No JSON object could be decoded'.
drohr@drohr-Aspire-M3450 ~ $

I would like to get started and download this maybe?

gwibber-daily is just an example. Use this command:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openmw/openmw

I don't know how much you know about how repos work, but considering you asked this question, perhaps a small explanation wouldn't be out of place. Perhaps you already know much (or everything about this), but just in case it's something you, or any onlookers, don't know yet - here's a small walkthrough.

Mint uses the Ubuntu and its own servers to host software packages you can download and install, as you might well know. But they do not carry OpenMW in their repositories, so you need to expand your list of repositories to include OpenMW's. You can tell what the address for the ppa is because it says so on the page you linked: "You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:openmw/openmw to your system's Software Sources."

So the command you use for this is "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openmw/openmw". On a basic level the command means: "Give me more rights on this system and run the program that adds repositories to my installation. Tell it to add the ppa (Personal Package Archive) openmw/openmw."

Now that your list of repositories have expanded to include that of openmw, you need to update the list of software you have available. So run "sudo apt-get update".

The latest lists from all repositories you have (Mint, Ubuntu, OpenMW and perhaps more) will now be downloaded and merged. Now you can use the command "sudo apt-cache search [x]" to search through your list and see which programs are available. So if you want to check if OpenMW is now available to you, you would type "sudo apt-cache search OpenMW".

In my case, I get:

libmygui-dev - Fast, simple and flexible GUI for OpenMW - development files
openmw - Reimplementation of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
openmw-data - Resources for the OpenMW engine
openmw-launcher - Launcher for OpenMW using the Qt-Gui-Toolkit
openmw-cs - Replacement of The Elder Scrolls Construction Set

There's a bunch of stuff available, but in your case you can simply apt-get install the openmw package; any dependencies should be automagically downloaded.

Like I said, you probably know most or all of this already, but maybe there are any Linux newbies out there who run across this and could use an explanation like this to understand what is going on. :)

Thanks, I updated instructions on the PPA.

The ppa actually pushed out 0.35.0 to me before the announcement even went up on the news section of the main site.

Next my ultimate question is: How do i get the game and install it to run it?
I used "apt-get install openmw

It installed i think.. (Always learning something new .. LOL .. thanks for your patience)

Yes.. i am learning. I Have been using Mint 17.1 for a now. No more Windblows for me unless if i need to play a certain game I'm testing.

The only other package you want to install is:
openmw-launcher

This will make your life easier. ;) It is a wizard that will walk you through installation of Morrowind and get you into the game faster.

openmw itself is just the engine, it needs to be configured first and pointed in the right direction which is where the launcher comes in.
