Hey, love this tool sm! Tried it in my computer a while back and I use it to create my game assets. Though, I tried installing it on my Chromebook since my computer is under repair, how do I set it up on Linux? All it gives me is a tar.gz file

Hy 👋, tar.gz is another compressed folder, you'd have to uncompress it as well.

Alr, just got the folder from it, but now what? Sorry if I'm asking unrelated questions I'm pretty new to the Linux setup

Pixelorama doesn't have a setup for Linux, There should be a pixelorama.x86_64 file in it, that should directly open pixelorama😁 (you can also rename that "folder" to anything and place it anywhere you like)

This might help (I forgot I had made a vid on it 😅)

Strange, when I double click it, it doesn't open and i dont see a gear icon on the file either

Hmmm, the icon could be different for your case (mine is a gear due to my Linux theme). As for it not running there are a couple of things you could try, hope it helps 😁

  • Check if you are clicking on the (.x86_64) and not (.pck). (.x86_64) Is the correct one.
  • Check if it has permission to be run as executable (right click on it, go to properties, and enable checkbox that says "allow running file as executable")
  • Check if you are using 32 bit Linux, instead of 64 bit (if it is 32 bit then you need the 32 bit version of pixelorama). If you don't know how to check it, you can download the 32 bit pixelorama version and see if it runs or not

Hello! If you're having trouble, you could also try downloading it as a Flatpak https://flathub.org/apps/com.orama_interactive.Pixelorama

Thanks for the recommendation but I'm going to use flatpak as a last resort since setting it up is a bit too heavy, especially with my low storage capacity :(
