This is a program that I want to install in order to make games. The file is '.exe', however, it is intended for Linux, not Windows.
I read from two articles that I need to use something called 'Wire', but in order to obtain that I need to type in a code, however, the console codes seem to be different for Garuda, than as they are for Ubunutu, which is currently the top Linux OS.
When I download the Linux version it doesn't have an exe inside of it. It has a 64-bit Linux ELF executable. Are you sure you downloaded the correct file?
It is the same file. I got an error that says it cannot run file/x-executable. I guess I just assumed it was '.exe', as I did come across other programs intended for Linux that are '.exe'.
After a couple of retries, the error stopped showing and I was able to run the program. Weird.
Hmm.. it might have been related to the permission to execute the program (just some random guess). In my case it asked for permission to execute & after granting the permission , it ran smoothly.
Well in the end you ran the Godot successfully so
Wow. That took a long time to download. So I was… Waiting for Godot.
Anyway, the Godot engine is in the community repository (the latest beta is in the chaotic-AUR). You'll probably want to use that instead and let pacman handle any dependencies, etc.
Why installing Windows version of it when official Linux version is also available by the devs?
Anyways, as an answer to this topic, to install a .exe file, you need to have Wine installed. The easiest way in Garuda is to install it from Garuda Gamer.
