How do I download Idle Master on Linux?

MiiDVeD commented 8 years ago

I'm new to Linux and I have literally no idea how to download this program? can I get some instructions? keep in mind that I'm pretty much a Linux noob.

Thx in advance :)

well i don't know if is the only way to download, but you can get by downloading the entire idle master py https://github.com/jshackles/idle_master_py/archive/master.zip

after, find the linux version (releases/linux) and copy to your user folder (/home/USER)

to run you will need install some python packeges, just open your terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and type this:

sudo apt-get install python-bs4 python-requests python-pil.imagetk python-colorama -y && sudo apt-get update

it will ask your linux password, no danger.

after this, by terminal open the idle file in the linux folder (cd Linux) and type python start.py if you see the date, time and "WELCOME TO IDLE MASTER" it's working (press Enter to close the python program)

now, put your steam account in the python version is quite hard so this video may help (starts on 1:30) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC1S5dgyTdw

all done, just type "python.py" on the terminal again and if everything works the cards will start to drop after 2 hours or more (if it's working a window will pop out with one of your games image, you can close that but keep the terminal open)

sorry for the text wall and my english as well but this was the best I could do, I hope this help you and if you have any problem just ask me

ps: I'm not a part of this project or a python programer so some things are probably more complicate than should be

Thanks for your answer.

I put up a little summary of the things I did to get it to work (with help from the internet) So here's what I did:

1- Download idle master python (clic on clone or download): https://github.com/jshackles/idle_master_py 2- Extract the zip then browse to Releases/Linux 3- Configure settings.txt as shown in this video(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-jeMjxrorM) or "Setup Instructions - Start Here.pdf" under Documentation 4- Install needed libraries (Ubuntu example): sudo apt-get install python-bs4 python-requests python-pil.imagetk python-colorama -y && sudo apt-get update 5- Run the app: python2 start.py

Hi! Do I need the steam client installed? I followed your guide and successfully run the program on my Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian, but it shows a error about steam library:

[ 03/30/2017 02:49:38 PM ] WELCOME TO IDLE MASTER [ 03/30/2017 02:49:38 PM ] Finding games that have card drops remaining [ 03/30/2017 02:49:42 PM ] Reading badge page, please wait [ 03/30/2017 02:49:42 PM ] No games have been blacklisted [ 03/30/2017 02:49:42 PM ] Idle Master needs to idle 25 games [ 03/30/2017 02:49:42 PM ] Starting game Motorsport Manager to idle cards [ 03/30/2017 02:49:43 PM ] Motorsport Manager has 1 card drops remaining [ 03/30/2017 02:49:43 PM ] Sleeping for 5 minutes Loading Linux 32bit library Couldn't initialize Steam API

Is that ok? Do I need to keep the browser open in my steam page while dropping the cards?

santiagosisto commented 7 years ago

Yes, you need your steam client installed and open. There is a linux version of the client.

You don't need to keep your browser open.
