How do you play Powder Toy on a Linux computer?

Answer 1

1. Download a Linux binary from the alternate downloads page.

2. Open up a terminal and navigate to the folder where you downloaded it.

3. The files are stored in a .gz file. To unpack them, enter "gunzip -d nameoffile.gz." It should extract to a folder. CD to the folder, and look for the binary. It will either have a .bin extension (if it is an installer), or just the name of the program if it isa standalone package.

4. In Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distros, enter "sudo chmod +x binary". In most other distros, enter "su", and then "chmod +x binary" after entering your root password.

5. To launch the application, enter "./binary". The "./" is important because it specifes that you want to launch the application of that name in the current directory. Otherwise, it will return a "command not found" error.
