====Besides the installer, what else do i need to install my game?====

Most of our installers will ask you for the cd or the dvd of the game. So you will need the original discs the game came on.

====If the installer still does not find the cd?====

Make sure your kernel has "Joliet extensions" enabled.

("File systems" -> CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems -> "ISO 9660 CDROM file system support" -> "Microsoft Joliet CDROM extensions")

====The installer does not recognize the cd at all and i tried all solutions below====

Make sure you are using the recommended version of the game for the installer.


===Loki-Installers specific (*.run files)===

====How to use the installer?====

Type following commands in a shell:

  sh installer.run

or

  chmod u+x installer.run
  ./installer.run

====How to use the installer on 64 bits CPUs/Distributions?====

Some older installers do not have native x86_64 support,
you will need the //linux32// tool(ftp://ftp.x86-64.org/pub/linux/tools/linux32/).

Type following commands in a shell:

  linux32 sh installer.run

or

  chmod u+x installer.run 
  linux32 ./installer.run 

Of course you also need all the 32 bit compatibility libraries  (look out for something named ia32).

====The installer does not find the cd.====

First try to export the CD-ROM environment variable: (Especially for auto/supermount users e.g. Mandrake).

  export SETUP_CDROM=/path/to/your/mounted/cdrom

FreeBSD users:

  setenv SETUP_CDROM /path/to/your/mounted/cdrom

====After the installer extracted the files, it can not find some of them?====

By default, the installer extracts to the /tmp directory. If you have limited space in /tmp, change the path to some place where you have enough free space.

  export TMPDIR=/where/you/have/lots/of/freespace 

FreeBSD users:

  setenv TMPDIR /where/you/have/lots/of/free/space


====I'm trying to start a game which I have installed using one of your installers and I get the error message "Syntax error: Bad substitution".====

You are not using bash as your default shell. This is especially the case for Ubuntu users.

Open the relevant script and change the first line from "#!/bin/sh" to "#!/bin/bash".

=====MojoSetup-Installers specific (*.mojo.run files)=====

====How to use the installer?====

Type following commands in a shell:

  chmod u+x installer.mojo.run
  ./installer.mojo.run

====The installer does not find the cd.====

First try to export the CD-ROM environment variable: 

  export MOJOSETUP_MEDIA0=/path/to/your/mounted/cdrom/
