How to install this on Linux? #314

Well, there is no release version for Linux. Do I need to build it from the source to make it work on Linux? Also, I tried to run the build.sh but I got this error. Screenshot_64

The "lite.zip" is Windows and Linux. The "lite.exe" is Windows. The "lite" is Linux.

So I need to chmod +x lite and then just double-click on it? IDK how to use it because lite is a all file and I don't know how can I use it.

You need to install sdl2-dev or libsdl2-dev, and then retry ./build.sh If it succeeds, you should now have a compiled file named lite.

You can execute it like ./lite
