getting it to work on linux
I don't have a dev machine for linux (although this should soon change!), so your best bet is trying Wine. Here is a post from someone who has had success:
Ok, so I have got it working for some weeks now, I am not certain if it is because I got new computer, or if it was because of one of the new versions, or something totally other.
Anyways, the way I got it to work in ubuntu was:
- 0. Get a standard Wine installation
- 1. Download the latest hydrus .exe file
- 2. Run it with Wine
- 3. This will open the installation program, choose where to put it, and continue
- 4. When you get to the page where you choose to either "install" or "extract only", choose extract only
- 5. Let it finish
- 6. Start the terminal and start it with Wine (I am not sure if you could just run it from within nautilous)
- With the default folder it would be:
- wine /home/[USERNAME]/.wine/drive_c/Hydrus\ Network/client.exe
- Just change USERNAME to your username
- 7. It should run just as it would on a windows computer
- 8. ???
- 9. Profit
If you try to get the client running in linux, please let me know how you get on!
