Yeah it's very important you get the correct one for the OS you're using!

I downloaded it for linux. but it didn't say anything about it for ubuntu. does that matter?

[immibis]

Ubuntu is a type of Linux.

1. Download it
2. Copy it to /opt (you'll need to do this as root/administrator)
3. Extract it there (you'll also need to do this as root/administrator)
4. There should be a folder called "Algodoo" with a program called "algodoo" in it. Run this program. Make a shortcut on the desktop if you want.

Also, when you unlock it you need to be running it as root/administrator.

how do I get to /opt? I hardly know anything about ubuntu.

[immibis]

I just thought of something...did you mean that you can't open the download? Because I think it has the wrong file extension. Rename it so it ends in .tar and try opening it, extract it to anywhere (/opt is suggested but it doesn't have to be that) and run "algodoo"

Did you ever have phun on Windows before Ubuntu?
Because for me too, on the same computer phun was terribly slow on Ubuntu while running fine on Windows.

[electronicboy]

mac mount the dmg file and drag it into your apps folder.

yes I did have phun on windows. and when I got it on ubuntu, it was running just fine, until I hit that yellow bomb! Idk why my computer is acting slow with algodoo now. it is a pretty fast computer!

go into algodoo, open the console by pressing ~, and type

Code: Select all

Sim.frequency = 100

might not work, but its worth a try

ok. I did it and downloaded the demo (I have the unlock key). how do I install it? its not the same as last time for some reason. last time I could simply open it!

this is the 3rd time I've posted this. it says that it is not the same as last time. I've already downloaded the demo, but I don't know how to install it so I can open it

how do you install it?

I can't even open algodoo. I still need to install it. and I don't know how

[standardtoaster]

How did you install it in the first place?

[electronicboy]

got to the folder the file you downloaded is and and run
cd /opt; sudo tar -zxvf algodoo_1_6_0_Linux64.tgz; /opt/Algodoo/algodoo
to run it in future open a terminal and run
/opt/Algodoo/algodoo

Most people go by "Help yourself before I help you".
And I'm one of those.

ok, well
1. i dont have linux

3. you should google how to use lixun or ask in the linux forums (there are many) before you ask us ._.

This assumes he downloaded it to /opt, actually.
If this doesn't work, post any error messages you get - I also had some problems with the Linux installation but I got it to work eventually.

OMFG! You didn't know that!? !!!! *facepalm*

[Mystery]

Programs that just contain a single exe file don't need you to extract them. So if your used to doing that it can be easy to get confused.
