Installing PokerTH 2.0 on Linux

[Danek]

If you can't install new client with PokerTH-2.0.2-linux_x86_64.zip on your Linux, then it means you have to install new client with PokerTH-2.0.2.AppImage.



1. Click on PokerTH-2.0.2.AppImage (link: app.php/download )

2. Download file (it will take few minutes)

3. Open Downloads folder in your device

4. Open a terminal in Downloads folder

5. Enter this command in terminal (you just have to copy/paste)

Code: Select all

chmod +x ./PokerTH-2.0.2.AppImage && ./PokerTH-2.0.2.AppImage

6. PokerTH-2.0.2.AppImage will open

7. Close PokerTH-2.0.2

Then you can move your apli where you want and just have to click twice to open it.

Have fun

Would it be possible to make the PokerTH 2.0 client available on Ubuntu via standard delivery channels (apt install / snap install)?

Currently, when I try to install via apt install or snap install, I only get the legacy version 1.1.2

When I download the PokerTH 2.0.2 AppImage on Ubuntu
and I move the file to my ~/Applications folder
and I run the commands above (chmod +x ./PokerTH.AppImage && ./PokerTH.AppImage)
then I get the error below.

Would it be possible to make the PokerTH 2.0 client available on Ubuntu via standard delivery channels (apt install / snap install)?

Currently, when I try to install via apt install or snap install, I only get the legacy version 1.1.2

I will build a new snap release soon.

About apt repository availabilty: it's up to the package maintainers of each distribution. Let there be a really stable Release now or next days, and then it will happen sooner or later. When a release really is stable I might email/poke a few of the distro package maintainers.

When I download the PokerTH 2.0.2 AppImage on Ubuntu
and I move the file to my ~/Applications folder
and I run the commands above (chmod +x ./PokerTH.AppImage && ./PokerTH.AppImage)
then I get the error below.

Please try this:
sudo apt remove appimagelauncher
sudo apt install libfuse2


Afterwards it should work on your Ubuntu.

Thanks for the fast response! Won't uninstall AppImageLauncher as I believe I need it for another AppImage. I'll go for the unzipped version for the time being and hope that the Ubuntu distro maintainers make version 2.0 of the pokerth package available soon.

Side note: Didn't find how to create a shortcut to the executable with the unzipped file though, ideally with the nice-looking icon, so to start I need to open the path to the unzipped folder, right-click on the pokerth script and select "run as program" in the context menu.
