Hello! The Linux file is downloading as extension "x86-64" so it can't open. Is it supposed to be a .deb, .tar.gz, .appimage...? Thank you!

Hello there! That file extension should be executable on 64bit linux machines. Maybe I need to make a 32 bit build? What error message do you get when you try to execute it, and what version of linux are you running?

I'm using the itch.io desktop app and it says "No manager for installer unknown". In the stack trace it says "no mapping for file extension .86_64". I'm running Pop!OS 64-bit:

$ lspcu
Architecture:            x86_64   
CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit

Maybe you have to make the file executable? I found a site with a guide on how to do that, please let me know if it works https://linuxhint.com/make-file-executable-linux/

It worked when I manually downloaded + made executable. I usually install via the desktop app to have automatic updates but I expect you won't be making updates as frequently as games do so it should be all right. Thanks!

Thank you! I will make sure that version 2 is set up with itchio's butler so that installation and updates are smooth.
