Savage2-2.1.0.7-linux-x64-installer.run Help [SOLVED]

[bunker85]

Hi people,
This game is now free to download and use. I need some advice on how to install it in Ultimate Edition 3.5. Is this possible.

Hello bunker85, you need to check a couple things before you execute this .run file. Open a terminal and log in as root by doing a sudo -s and typing your password. Next type uname -r, and look at the output as it will tell you what kernel you have installed. Then simply type synaptic and the Synaptic Package Manager will open. Search for the appropiate linux-source and linux-headers for your version. (ex. linux-source-3.2, linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64) Once its finished installing, search for kernel-package and install that also. Then you are ready to install this game. Close Synaptic out and click inside the terminal and type ctrl+c together. This should give you a root prompt again. Please keep in mind that I cannot guarentee it will work as i do not know this specific game installer. But give it a shot. cd to the directory you saved the installer to. (good practice is to save it to /opt) Then type sh Savage2-2.1.0.7-linux-x64-installer.run. The installer should start and guide you through the rest. Good luck...
