Create the linux installer, this creates an installer that is similar to the Windows installer. It is terminal only
This was solely for debugging

It appears this does not work on Fedora. Please hold Currently its confirmed that it works on Arch linux and Debian 13 |
Fedora tail does not work properly, so I used pipe which is universal
Update for automatic library checking and whitespace cleanup
Reduce file size, and improve compatibility by checking libraries instead of packages

Fixed Fedora support, apparently he had a weird filesystem that didnt support even symbolic linking (Btrfs doesn't like symbolic links alot of the time) Removed all checks with package managers and instead moved it to ldconfig directly, so compatibility checks shouldn't be dependent on OS anymore as well as adding automatic library checks (According to however you built it) |
Remove export, best practices
Should be finalized
This allows for clarity and matches the current Windows BeamMP installer (BeamMP_Installer.exe)
Auto generation support
Auto generation support

Hello, and, this is something that I believe that BeamMP has needed for a bit. This creates an automated installer that installs all of BeamMP's files to the local user on Linux! It does not use administrator permissions and checks for gcc libraries on pacman, apt, and dnf based distributions
To run: compile BeamMP for linux, then, run compile_installer.sh
This creates a standalone installer that includes the BeamMP binary, .desktop file, and ico file. It is extracted inside of the script with no need for external tools besides tail
It also supports whiptail and non-whiptail instances (Plain text)
