CoR-on-Linux

Non Debian-based distro, running the native client

Oh, so you chose the VERY hard way.

Given it’s 2025, we assume you are using the 64bit client

Download and execute the installer

1. Download the game
2. Make the installer executable:
   • either through a right click on your installation file, then (usually) properties, then setting it executable for the user
   • or easier, in a terminal: chmod 0700 ~/Downloads/ROInstall_64
3. Execute the installer:
   • just (double) click on it
   • you can also run it from the terminal: ~/Downloads/ROInstall_64

Installing packages and necessary symbolic links

See also https://github.com/mascaldotfr/cor-debian-packages

It’s where your mileage may vary. Technically you need to:

1. Install the gtk2 and libtinfo packages (ncurses is most likely already installed)
2. Symlink:
   • libncursesw.so.6 to libncursesw.so.5
   • libtinfo.so.6 to libtinfo.so.5

Some known working infos on different distros are presented below.

Fedora

sudo dnf install gtk2
cd /lib64
sudo ln -s libncursesw.so.6 libncursesw.so.5
sudo ln -s libtinfo.so.6 libtinfo.so.5

Nobara

At least one player reported to be able to run the game without further modifications.

Void Linux

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so.6 /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so.5
sudo xbps-install ncurses-libtinfo-libs
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.6 /usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.5

Have fun

You may get further issues after running the game, see the troubleshooting version if it occurs.
