I'm trying to install Olympus on my steam deck and the explanation the website for what you need to do does not do a very good job at what you have to do really, especially since I have no idea how linux as a whole even works, any help would be greatly appreciated with trying to understand what I need to do

#

Like It says i need to use a command prompt for it but like, how does the terminal even work for Linux, I have no idea how to run it and stuff

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 12:56 AM

#

alpine canopy Nov 27, 2022, 12:56 AM

#

ok where are you stuck

#

i assume it's the run install.sh

#

part

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 12:56 AM

#

Running install.sh in a terminal

#

Yeah

alpine canopy Nov 27, 2022, 12:57 AM

#

do this

#

from the directory with install.sh

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 12:57 AM

#

Wdym

alpine canopy Nov 27, 2022, 12:58 AM

#

go to the directory with install.sh

#

rightclick some empty space, then click 'open terminal here'

#

then type sh install.sh

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 1:00 AM

#

By directory do you mean like in the file explorer?

alpine canopy Nov 27, 2022, 1:00 AM

#

oh i cant read that at all

#

yeah

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 1:00 AM

#

Ok so huh

alpine canopy Nov 27, 2022, 1:01 AM

#

the empty space below any files

#

right click

#

then in the menu that shows up

#

hit 'open terminal here'

#

or a similar popup

#

then in the terminal

#

type sh install.sh

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 1:09 AM

#

It works I think?

restive kettle Nov 27, 2022, 1:10 AM

#

That looks functioning

#

Make sure you're updated to the latest version and then go add your celeste install, and install everest

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 1:11 AM

#

It works if I directly run the code

#

As in the olympus file

#

I don't know if it installed properly cause the icon isn't right

restive kettle Nov 27, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

Which icon?

#

If it installs right it should add a desktop file to your app menu

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

#

No nothing appeared on the desktop

restive kettle Nov 27, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

Yeah, that's not the .desktop file

restive kettle Nov 27, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

void cairn No nothing appeared on the desktop

What about in the app menu thing?

#

I think you get it through the lower left button

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

Yeah it's there

restive kettle Nov 27, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

Yeah, then that's fine

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 1:15 AM

#

This is kinda inconvenient cause it's not desktop, but it works lol

#

Wrong image

#

restive kettle Nov 27, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

You can put it on your desktop

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 1:19 AM

#

Alright, now for the fun part

#

Oh it just automatically launches in normal celeste

#

Ok yeah that works really well lmao

restive kettle Nov 27, 2022, 1:21 AM

#

You mean steam launches Celeste with Everest installed? Yeah, the files are modified so it's a lot more work to launch in vanilla than everest while everest is installed

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 1:21 AM

#

Gaming, weird this even works at all lmao

#

Ok that's all ty

restive kettle Nov 27, 2022, 1:22 AM

#

What's weird?

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 1:22 AM

#

No I mean like

#

The fact this even works with steam deck is wild

restive kettle Nov 27, 2022, 1:23 AM

#

The steam deck is just a linux computer, so there's no reason it really shouldn't

void cairn Nov 27, 2022, 1:23 AM

#

Yeah but I mean with gaming mode

#

Honestly most of the struggle with this was not knowing how to right click with steam deck LMAO

This is the only post in this #953393160464269402 channel where someone got Everest to run successfully on Steam Deck (but it’s also the most recent so that gives me hope)

I was going to purchase Celeste for Steam Deck just for the mods (already played the main game a ton on Switch over the years) but I’m a little nervous to mess with the desktop mode of Steam Deck. Any other success stories? I’m a steam newbie in general

The Slay the Spire Downfall mod has a page right on the Steam store so that seems a lot simpler lol

#

This is not the only time someone has gotten Everest working on a steam deck. It's happened many times. Most of the time there's no issues

steam deck is basically just linux, and celeste works well on linux, so usually people don't have problems
you should be able to just apply the normal celeste/everest installation instructions without too much modification

sick seal Dec 8, 2022, 6:15 PM

#

Okay thanks @restive kettle and @timid bramble

It was the only instance I could find in the search of it being installed correctly. Good to know it’s not as complicated as I though. Thanks!

Hello, I just realized this was opened again lmao

I'm running into an error with running olympus on my steam deck. I get this error:
/home/deck/Downloads/linux.main/dist/olympus: line 33: ./love: Permission denied
I'm not sure what permissions this is talking about. This was when i ran Olympus in Konsole. When i run the desktop application, I get a permission error as well. Am I missing something here?

vernal glade Dec 23, 2022, 10:22 PM

#

never mind i fixed it. I had to trace back the scripts and change the permissions on them. All is good

Getting a permissions error with the linux install.sh
basically the abridged version of the error is as follows: (i cut a lot down because i cant send images here)

Olympus exists at /opt/olympus
Do you want to continue? y/N: y
Creating /user/share/applications/Olympus.desktop
cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/share/applications/Olympus.desktop': Read-only file system
chmod: cannot access '/usr/share/applications/Olympus.desktop': No such file or directory
Creating /usr/bin/olympus
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/olympus': No such file or directory
...

#

it seems to be an issue with the Steam Deck's read-only filesystem, is there a way to install Olympus without being system-wide?
