You need to have java, wget and unzip installed, the way to do that varies depending on your distro; I'm using Gentoo where it looks like this:
Code:
# emerge -tav icedtea wget unzip
Other distros may have a different incantation ("apt-get" for example), but the general idea is the same. "
icedtea" is one "java package" if you will, others might be called "
openjdk" or "
oracle-jdk-bin". Any of them should do.
The "
#" character at the start of a line indicates the command needs to be run as root, a "
$" means it should be run as a standard user; you don't (actually mustn't) type them in.
Once the dependencies are in place,
Code:
$ export SMDIR=$HOME/games/starmade/latest
$ export SMBUILD=starmade-build_20190824_121745.zip
$ mkdir -p $SMDIR
$ cd $SMDIR
$ wget http://files.star-made.org/build/dev/$SMBUILD
$ unzip $SMBUILD
$ java -jar StarMade.jar -force
should do the trick.
Tthe next time you want to run the game, you only need
Code:
$ cd $HOME/games/starmade/latest; java -jar StarMade.jar -force
