Need help with installing on Ubuntu

[Sickwhips]

Computer crashed with W7 so i switched to linux and im pretty new to it, but i cannot figure out how to install mx sim. I have the full game, 1.4 linux version. Any help on this would be appreciated.

This should do it:

cd /whereever/you/want/to/install
tar xzf mxsimulator-1_4-linux-x86.tar.gz
cd mxsimulator-1_4
./mx

[Sickwhips]

i got a "No such file in directory" message

[Sickwhips]

"*OR directory"

[jlv]

Whoops! Let me ammend that to this:

cd /whereever/you/want/to/install
tar xzf /full/path/to/mxsimulator-1_4-linux-x86.tar.gz
cd mxsimulator-1_4
./mx

hmm same error, does this work for like off of a disk? because mines just a downloaded file from my purchase link.

You aren't literally typing "/whereever/you/want/to/install" and "/full/path/to" are you? You need to replace those with the actual paths.

[Sickwhips]

no, i typed the paths.

[jlv]

"No such file or directory" means it couldn't find a file. Check the pathnames and make sure they actually exist.

[Sickwhips]

well, i have the files on my home folder, and that also where i want to install. is there something wrong with that or can you tell me where to put them or where to install them. Linux is really confusing idk how it works..

Assuming mxsimulator-1_4-linux-x86.tar.gz is in your home directory, this should do it:

cd ~
tar xzf mxsimulator-1_4-linux-x86.tar.gz
cd mxsimulator-1_4
./mx

[Sickwhips]

i got this copy and paste straight from terminal.

ryan@ryan-UL50VT:~$ cd ~
ryan@ryan-UL50VT:~$ tar xzf mxsimulator-1_4-linux-x86.tar.gz
tar (child): mxsimulator-1_4-linux-x86.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
ryan@ryan-UL50VT:~$ cd mxsimulator-1_4
ryan@ryan-UL50VT:~/mxsimulator-1_4$ ./mx

If it's saying that mxsimulator-1_4-linux-x86.tar.gz isn't in your home directory. It might be in "~/Downloads/mxsimulator-1_4-linux-x86.tar.gz".

Hello

I'm having similiar problems. I'm on a macbookpro and I first played the game with crossover. It worked fine except I couldn't get my controller working. Then I decided to dual boot windows 8 preview. Now the problem was the windows. It just kept crashing. So I dual booted ubuntu. All went smooth but the game won't start. I untarred it into my home folder with the correct permissions but something is wrong. The ubuntu I have is 64bit if that matters.

tatu@MacBookPro:~$ cd ~
tatu@MacBookPro:~$ tar xzf '/home/tatu/mxsimulator-1_7-linux-x86.tar.gz'
tatu@MacBookPro:~$ cd mxsimulator-1_7
tatu@MacBookPro:~/mxsimulator-1_7$ ./mx
./mx: line 10: /home/tatu/mxsimulator-1_7/mxbin: No such file or directory
tatu@MacBookPro:~/mxsimulator-1_7$

any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Is mxbin there? Type "ls -l" after you "cd mxsimulator-1_7".
