Somewhat-new to linux, currently running Nobara (Fedora 40), have temurin-17-jre installed, and 0.49.19.1's linux version is running fine
Extracted the tarball, running any of the shell scripts results in nothing,
running the shells in terminal give me

Warning: Could not start program '/home/annie/Games/MekHQ-0.50.0/MegaMek.sh' with arguments ''.
Warning: Child process set up failed: execve: No such file or directory

I try running the .jar file using the command given in the instructions page on the website and get an error i'll post in a comment cause it's too long

I try just opening the MegaMek file in /bin and get
Uncaught java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException detected. and it telling me to open an issue on the github, which i will do assuming this isn't something wrong on my end
Let me know if there's other info I can provide

hey nobara user. our .sh files currently require you to cd into their directory or they can't find the program.

also your log dump indicates that it's using a red hat java 21 instead of your temurin. check sudo alternatives --config java

the startup process is sadly pretty fragile. you can also try bin/MegaMek from the megamek dir tho you may need to give those files a chmod u+x first

#

(heading back to bed tho)

Thanks on the java catch, the right version should now be selected.
I might be doing something wrong with the shell scripts, but I believe I am in the right directory, here's the command and output in case i'm doing something wrong

annie@doe:~/Games/MekHQ-0.50.0$ ./MegaMek.sh
bash: ./MegaMek.sh: cannot execute: required file not found

However, after doing the chmod changes, your third option is working great, so I can use that for now

Oh, I checked on a fresh download of 0.50.0 and I can't get the .sh scripts to work either.

#

bin/MegaMek does work though

modest rock
#

ah kk, ty for the help though! I'll use bin/ for now

thin cypress
#

Oh, found the culprit. Line endings. Running dos2unix *.sh makes them all start working. x.x

modest rock
#

oh yup!

#

all working for me now too

thin cypress
#

Yeah, putting in an issue about it

modest rock
#

tysm for helping!

thin cypress
#

NP :>

modest rock

ooh running it through lutris would make it much easier for me
