The game runs on Adobe Air, which frequently fails to install on Linux. This can be fixed by using the SDK instead of the runtime, which can be found [http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/2.6/AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2 here]. After the download is complete, put it in a new folder. (You can call it whatever you like. "Botanicula" would be the most obvious name.) After that, take your Linux download for Botanicula and put it in the same folder. Next, create a text file and call it "botanicula.sh". In the text file, paste the following text:
 
−
<pre>#!/bin/bash
 
−
# botanicula.sh - Launch Botanicula without having to install Adobe Air.
 
−
# Using the current directory as HOME avoids cluttering your home directory.
 
−
# Error checking isn't very robust in this, but it shouldn't clobber anything.
 
−
# If you're feeding this a .zip for the game files, it'll leave the
 
−
# "Botanicula.air" file behind.  You can safely delete this file, as it's not
 
−
# needed.  You probably should, because it's big.

1) Open your linux terminal,

AIRBALL='AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2'
 
  
−
# Beginning of game files zip name. This will be globbed.
+
2) Create symbolic links for gnome Keyring with these commands. "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0" "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0" If you have a 32 bit computer use these commands instead. "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0" "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0"

#  NOTE:  If you have multiple botanicula-linux-*.zip in the dir,
 
−
#        this script won't unzip any of them.
 
  
−
BAIR='Botanicula.air'  # The .air file in the .zip
+
3) Install Adobe Air.
−
BDIR='Botanicula'  # Game files directory name
 
−
HOME="$PWD"  # Save directory will be stored here
 
−
SAVE='BotaniculaSaves'  # Save directory name (Don't change this.)
 
  
−
##### You should understand some Bourne shell to edit below this line.
+
4) After installing remove the symbolic links with these commands. "sudo rm /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0" "sudo rm /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0"

You should have a directory with three files in it:
 
−
* Botanicula.sh
 
−
* AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2
 
−
* botanicula-linux-(Some numbers here)
 
−
 
 
−
After this, all you have to do is mark the file as executable. To do this right click botanicula.sh, select properties, go to the permissions tab, and checkmark "allow executing file as program". After that, all you have to do is double click botanicula.sh, and the game should run fine.

Settings

Due to the game running in Flash there are relatively few settings to change, with only on/off for full-screen, a choice between 100% and 60% for window size and a low/medium/high quality option. However, this does mean it should run on most computers rather easily.
