Today we are looking at how to install Spiral Knights on Ubuntu 19.04, this should work as well on all supported versions of Ubuntu. You will need to have a Spiral Knights account which you can get from the official site, link below.
You can use the videos as a visual guide and all the commands/steps which I used in the videos is here below.
In the first step, we download the installation package, then we install Java, after that, we make the installation package executable and open a terminal inside the directory where the package is located, then we install Spiral Knights and then we set permissions to be able to run the game, lastly we install a menu editor for Ubuntu and add Spiral Knights to the menu.
For some reason, the desktop icon does not want to work, so I just remove it and add the game to the app menu. Enjoy!
Ps. Because of my slow internet speeds I didn't wait for the game to update, but it does work, please let me know if you run into any errors.
