Running PokerTH_Server on Linux
Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2022 1:42 pm
Hi all.
I spun up an Ubuntu 22.04.1 VM and tried to do a
sudo apt-get install pokerth-server
but despite the successful installation, when I try to run it with
pokerth_server
command in the Terminal, nothing happens.
Thinking I had better just compile it from scratch, I followed the Wiki.
Installing all the dependencies. But then at the point where they say
"Unpack the source release:
tar xjf PokerTH-0.9.src.tar.bz2"
I noticed that the latest release is actually 1.1.2, so these instructions have not been updated apparently.
The next steps read:
"
Enter the pokerth source directory:
cd pokerth
Edit pokerth dot pro and remove the pokerth_game dot pro entry.
"
But when I go into the source directory, I don't see pokerth dot pro
There is a pokerth dot sh and a pokerth, the latter is an executable.
Am I just not looking in the right places, or is the Wiki just out of date?
FYI, a quick google search of the dot pro extension yields the following result:
"
A PRO file is a website or mobile application mockup created by Adobe Proto, a discontinued Adobe Touch app.
"
So I don't know if 1.1.2 maybe got rid of that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Has anyone been able to recently install and get the server to work?
Thanks.
