Updating on Linux Zorin OS

[Samaya]

I have very little knowledge when it comes to Linux and how things work. I read the wiki on updating using the "install.sh"  file, but so far all it seems to do is open it in a text editor. 

I downloaded 1.21.6 directly from the VS website. 

What would be the easiest way to install?

What I have to do (in Linux Mint) is open the command line (Terminal), then go to the original folder where it was downloaded:

cd /home/username/Downloads/VS/vs1216/vintagestory

./install.sh

cd /home/username/.local/share/vintagestory

./Vintagestory

 

I think the instructions are old or specific to certain distros.

If your script is just being opened in an editor, it likely means it's not marked as an executable; to mark it as such, you should be able to change that in the file's properties > permissions > something about execution. Alternatively, there is the terminal command "chmod +x install.sh".

I have not used the script myself, though.

Thanks I'll try next update see if it works.
