Help Installing a Game

[battleof3]

Hey! So I've been looking into this game called Kamyran's Eye 2, and on their website, they provide a shell script of some sort for installing the game under Linux. Which is fine. The problem is, I have NO idea how to go about using this script.

The script is located at http://keye2.phk.at/download/keye2-1.2-linux-x86.run

Any help is much appreciated!

You need to make it executable using the chmod command, and then run it with superuser permissions:

chmod +x example.run
sudo ./example.run

Alright, but would I need to change any of the script, like inserting my username in certain places? Apologies, I've never had to install anything this way before, and 'tis completely foreign to me.

Shouldn't.

You will be prompted at the Terminal for your system password when you run the sudo command.

I did this after downloading the file as a .txt, renaming it to .sh, and making it executable. The output was as follows

devonc@myLaptop:~/Desktop$ sudo ./keye2-1.2-linux-x86.sh
./keye2-1.2-linux-x86.sh: 2: ./keye2-1.2-linux-x86.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
devonc@myLaptop:~/Desktop$

Why did you rename it to .sh?

The extension in the download link in your first post is ".run"

Oh... Sorry. LOL

I've SO been getting enough sleep lately...

So I've just downloaded the file again, and named it as a .run file. But now it is only recognized as an HTML document Any ideas?
