Is Linux a supported platform? #134

Closed bit-for-byte closed 5 years ago

bit-for-byte commented 5 years ago

I'm going thru the guide on the wiki page, but it seems geared for Windows. Is Linux a supported platform to run this on? Right now, it doesn't seem to be supported because I followed the guide and ran init.bat (which I renamed to init.sh and put #!/usr/bin/env sh at the top of the file). When I ran it, I got this error:

I actually never tested on linux (mainly for time constraints), so it is not officially supported.

That being said the code is completely portable so you may try to override the chromium executable path. To do so you have to change your init.sh from

java -jar BHBot.jar init

to

java -jar BHBot.jar init chromium <path_to_chromium executable>

Please note: you have to specify the executable file itself, not just the folder containing it.

Let us know how it is going and if you need more assistance, there are a couple of other undocumented options that can help you. :)

Hi there !

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.

I tried to run java -jar BHBot.jar init chromium /snap/bin/chromium.chromedriver but I still get the same error.

I'd love some help their :).

Cheers !

You need to update to v43 as in v42.* there was an issue with argument parsing.

By the way I did some testing and currently linux is not working. This is now a duplicate of #137, so I am closing this.
