Installing ora mods using linux for former windows user
Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2017 5:34 pm
Hey, I am new to linux & it was a small adventure for me, finding out how to install a mod - it seems it is necessary to use the terminal for it.
This is how I installed a mod:
I. Downloaded the mod, extracted the folder & set the access rights for the mod folder itself & every single folder inside to everybody, using right mouseclick & properties (this was not possible for me if the mod was already in the ora mod folder)
II. Right clicked on the folder the modfolder is saved in, opened it with terminal & typed in: sudo cp -R modfoldername /usr/lib/openra/mods/modfoldername
If you know some handy terminal commands regarding this topic (how to use chown in order to set access rights to everybody for a folder including all folders & files inside?) or you know a different way to install a mod ("sudo without terminal"?), please post it here
