I need help trying to install this game, it's a tar.bz2 file and when I use the tar -xf command it does extract the game file but the folder that it gives does not have any app that I can open to play it. (I am new to Linux, and it is on a Chromebook OS if that helps)

wait.... you're running ChromeOS?

somber pawn
#

what?

#

im on a chromebook

dire solstice
#

is it using ChromeOS or Linux?

somber pawn
#

Im using a chromebook and i have the linux that you can enable in settings

dire solstice
#

oh alright.

dire solstice
#

I'm not 100% sure as I avoid chromebooks at all costs, I'm just reading the options you have there

somber pawn

Mm well its fine if it cant run games this is just what it shows me in the extracted folder , just kinda thought it was a glitch or something. When you said it doesn't allow me did you mean that it was a setting i need to change or just in general

dire solstice
#

I'm not too sure.

somber pawn
#

#

have u tried running the .bin file?

#

and make it runnable?

dire solstice
#

oh yeah that's a good idea

#

I didn't think of that nothingwronghere

somber pawn
#

how do i do that lol

livid canyon
#

chmod +x [file]

somber pawn
#

I can't do it on the folder itself cos it says chmod cannot access it coz "No such file or directory" then when I moved the bin file to the Linux folder and I run the command for the file it just does nothing

dire solstice
#

can you try to use sudo?

#

no clue if it works on chromeos but worth a shot

livid canyon
#

no output is good

somber pawn
#

oh ok

livid canyon
#

bc it means no errors

#

try starting it with ./[file]

somber pawn
#

it says ./(the file): 60: exec: /home/profile/lib/linux-x86_64/(file): not found

#

well its fine thanks for tryna help though maybe i just downloaded it wrong or smt
