Purchase Mount and Blade Warband\n2. Open your Steam library\n3. Right click Mount and Blade Warband\n4. Click properties\n5. Click compatability\n6. Check \"Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatability tool\"\n7. Select \"Proton Experimental\"\n8. Install Mount and Blade Warband\n\nOnce that is finished do the following in a Bash terminal.\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/rawleyfowler/linux-wse-installer\ncd linux-wse-installer\nnano README.md # Make sure you read the whole thing before you install\n./install.sh\nsudo cp wse_warband /usr/local/bin/ # Optional if you want it on the path.\n```\n\n#### How to install without Steam\nYou'll need to find a copy of Mount and Blade Warband Windows edition, and\ninstall it to a directory on your Linux machine. Then you'll have to use the script a little\ndifferently to install it.\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/rawleyfowler/linux-wse-installer\ncd linux-wse-installer\nnano README.md # Make sure you read the whole thing before you install\n./install.sh -p \"/location/of/warband\" # Make sure you specify where you have the game!\nsudo cp wse_warband /usr/local/bin/ # Optional if you want it on the path.\n```\n\n## Installing Mods\nSimply `unzip`, `unrar`, etc any module as you would normally on Windows, and move it to the `Modules` folder\nof your WSE Warband install.\n\n\n## Debugging/Changing Install\n\n#### My Screen Is Black\nMake sure you have the correct video drivers installed for your card, and ensure that you run Warband\nwith the run script generated by the installer.\n\n#### Changing Warband Lookup Directory\nThe installer looks for Mount and Blade Warband at: `$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/MountBlade\\ Warband` if\nit's installed somewhere else, or you don't use Steam, you can specify it on the install script with the `-p` flag:\n```bash\n./install.sh -p \"$HOME/my/warband/install/directory\"\n```\n\n#### Changing the Warband Install Directory\nBy default the installer installs to `$HOME/Games/MountBlade\\ Warband` if you want to install\nsomewhere else use the `-l` flag.\n```bash\n./install.sh -l \"$HOME/where/I/keep/my/vidya_games\"\n```\n\n## License\nThis project is licensed under the MIT license, feel free to read about it in the `LICENSE` file at the root of the project.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frawleyfowler%2Flinux-wse-installer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frawleyfowler%2Flinux-wse-installer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frawleyfowler%2Flinux-wse-installer/lists"}
