well, first up open a console
if you haven't downloaded it, yet, type the following
| Code: : |
wget http://platinumarts.net/ccount/click.php?id=27
|
then type the following to extract it, though I'd suggest actually doing this inside a GUI by using ARK or file-roller
| Code: : |
unzip PlatinumArtsSandbox*
|
keep in mind, that may not work, and this'll only install it for you...
if you'd like to play it, type the following to navigate to the directory, ignore the //blah stuff
| Code: : |
cd PlatinumArtsSandbox*
//changes directory
chmod +x sandbox_unix
//gives executing permissions to the start up script
./sandbox_unix
// the ./ indicates current directory, or else it'll execute something in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, the executable file is after it
|
if you'd like to install it system wide so anyone can play with it
type the following
type in your password and then type the following
| Code: : |
cp PlatinumArtsSandbox* /opt/
cd /opt/; mkdir games; mv PlatinumArtsSandbox* games/
unzip PlatinumArtsSandbox; chmod -R +x PlatinumArtsSandbox*; chmod -R +r PlatinumArtsSandbox*
cd PlatinumArtsSandbox*
ln -s sandbox_unix /usr/bin/sandbox
|
whew, that's a mouthful...
the first thing changes you into root, very handy. you then go to /opt and create a games directory, whilst moving the PAS archives there.
You then unzip them there, and give reading and executing permissions to everyone else!
lastly you go into that directory and create a sym_link_ to the start up _script_, so you can now type sandbox in the console to start it up!
oh we're not done yet, there's still one more step
type the following
| Code: : |
nano sandbox_unix
|
see these lines?
| Code: : |
#SANDBOX_DIR=/usr/local/sandbox
SANDBOX_DIR=.
SANDBOX_OPTIONS="-r"
#SANDBOX_OPTIONS="-r -q${HOME}/.platinumarts"
|
change them to
| Code: : |
#SANDBOX_DIR=/usr/local/sandbox
SANDBOX_DIR=/opt/games/PlatinumArtsSandboxbeta2.1/
#SANDBOX_OPTIONS="-r"
SANDBOX_OPTIONS="-r -q${HOME}/.platinumarts"
|
The first is just to set the directory to the PAS ones, but your directory structure may differ, so keep that in mind, I'm not too sure of how unzip works, as I normally use graphical utilities,
The last bunch are command line options, the -q sets a directory where user specific stuff are saved
