In the past, ive been using my friends laptop to play modded celeste, and the process was insanely easy and nothing went wrong, even while downloading new mods like sj and darkmoon ruins. Now, ive gotten my own laptop, which is a chromebook, but ive never done this installation process and its kinda confusing and I need a lil help.

I mean the installation process is at #modding_welcome, if you do not specify the problem you cannot be helped
ChromeOS is more or less linux, but most chromebooks' specs presumably lead celeste to run poorly

okay ill run through it rq and see if that helps out
boreal garnet
while chromeos is based on linux to some extent it has its own caveats and you'll probably have to deviate from the installation process a bit
also chromebooks are usually pretty limited with their specs, meaning you might not be able to run many mods

i managed to install steam using a linux environment and i have about 20 GB of storage to use but i can always add extra if needed
i left off on thr step where you have to run install.sh in the terminal but its not working and im not sure why
i have linux.main.zip shared with the environment but when i run install.sh in the terminal its still not working
boreal garnet
please be more specific
how are you running it
what are you being told
what is exactly happening
prisma coral
so as i said im running olympus (or at least trying to) fro my chromebook
i already have steam installed with ym copy of the game
and on the official site for olympus has a step that says i have to run a file named install.sh in my terminal
i tried ragging the file from files into the terminal as well as copy pasting it but nothing happened and im not sure if its a technical issue or if its something im doing qrong
*wrong
boreal garnet
what are you being told from the terminal
boreal garnet
did you press enter after dragging and dropping the file into the terminal
prisma coral
no
boreal garnet
then you didn't run it
crude glacier
run ./install.sh in its directory?
prisma coral
wdym directory?

I think it would be helpful if you sent screenshots of what you're currently doing and where your files are and stuff like that.
sly panther
Looks like you havent unzipped the zip file you downloaded.
Always extract zip files before trying to use the files in them. They're just a storage medium for files.
sly panther
Both
prisma coral
i thought you have to unzip both to view their contents?
sly panther
Not exactly sure what you mean. Usually operating systems let you preview the files inside zip files without needing to extract them. But if you want to actually use the files you need to extract the zip file.

okay heres what i did
crude glacier
run the install script so
crude glacier
it did **NOT** work
i feel like were not getting anywhere buuut that doesn't say anything; did you run an empty command in a terminal and get an empty response?
If so, you'll probably need to change directory to dist and execute the script
by running ./install.sh
Also, a directory is essentially a folder
prisma coral
Also, a directory is essentially a folder
okay that makes sense but do we have to run a command to direct the terminal to dist so it can run install.sh?
prisma coral
by running ./install.sh
also i just ran this and the terminal said "-bash: ./install.sh: No such file or directory"
crude glacier
cd is used to change directory, but you'll need to know the location of the linux.main/dist folder, or ideally open a terminal there graphically
That command tells the shell to execute the file named install.sh which is located in the folder where the terminal is currently open
prisma coral
okay lets try to simplify this a little
should we get in a call so i can share my screen and you let me know what to and not to do?
crude glacier
On most linux distros you can right click inside the dist folder and click something like open terminal
prisma coral
alright lemme poke arnd rq
crude glacier
Or there might be something relevant when you click 'open with' after right clicking install.sh
prisma coral
Or there might be something relevant when you click 'open with' after right clic...
yeah abt that
these are the only options i have
crude glacier
What about right clicking empty space in dist
prisma coral
if its at the top then yeah
crude glacier
Can u say where it is so..?
prisma coral
crude glacier
Can you run cd ./linux.main in the linux environment and screenshot the output
crude glacier
screenshot..?
prisma coral
prisma coral
Run cd ./dist
with or w/o the space?
crude glacier
Though apparently this linux thing is sandboxed, idk if installing olympus like this will let it interact with the rest of the computer
Just cd ./dist i.e. one whitespace character
prisma coral
crude glacier
In the graphical file explorer, is there a second linux.main folder directly inside of linux.main..?
crude glacier
Is there one dist folder or two
The expected behaviour is to get one linux.main and dist...
prisma coral
theres a 2nd dist as well
crude glacier
Could you make a folder called linux.main in the file explorer, make a folder called dist inside, and copy the files currently in the last dist folder there
Seems like a simple way to get the normal structure, though I don't know if anything depends on it
crude glacier
I mean, if there wasn't a need for two zips they probably wouldn't be there
Beside your top-level linux.main
The one that's not inside any other folder from olympus
prisma coral
k
crude glacier
Actually you can't right
crude glacier
Two identical folder names..? You should rename the old linux.main
Anyway in the end you should have a linux.main folder containing a dist folder containing your files, all in linux files, then in the terminal navigate to the dist folder (if you're in ~, run cd ./linux.main/dist, if you're in ~/linux.main run cd ./dist) then run ./install.sh
I'm going for a bit so ping someone if it fails, I'd recommend talking to an llm if you need help with a specific technical task, but they're poor at handling vague queries or anything related to celeste so don't trust its accuracy too much
prisma coral
alright
cya
thanks for the help btw
anyways whenever you come back this happened
crude glacier
anyways whenever you come back this happened
Isn't it fine
crude glacier
Show error?
crude glacier
Can you screenshot the contents of dist
prisma coral
and then under that is "io.github.everestapi.Olympus.metainfo.xml"
crude glacier
Kinda dubious idea but can you run love ./olympus.love
crude glacier
chmod +x i guess
Oh wait
No
You're missing the love
It might not be installed
But you can get it
With apt
crude glacier
In the command
prisma coral
ironically i actually did that
prisma coral
eariler when you left i did sudo apt install love
crude glacier
Ok
prisma coral
really quick js wanna lykk i didnt really abandon this im still poking around w chatgpt
prisma coral
okay I still havent had any luck installing olympus
