It'd be nice to see common terms/annacronisms/abbreviations that are used in the forum added to the glossory (e.g. SVN). Also the troubleshooting info. A lot of people (including myself) had trouble getting Tome to run on there computer & you have to trawl the forum fairly heavily to find the relevant info.
I would like to see an entry decribing in detail what steps I should follow from the time I download the LInux tarball from the site. I also need to know how to run the program once it is unzipped into the correct place
Optionally move the t-engine4 directory to somewhere convenient, like your home directory.
Locate and Execute the t-engine binary file to start having fun.
If you're using normal Ubuntu (specifically, with Unity) you might have to adjust the windows-and-icons bit below a little. I'm using xubuntu specifically to avoid Unity, my knowledge of how it works is at the very-beginner level.
More detailed info for windows-and-icons users:
You can unzip untar the downloaded file by finding it in your Downloads directory (probably something like /home/(yourusername)/Downloads/t-engine4-linux32-1.0.0beta40.tar.bz2) and selecting Extract Here from the context menu. You only need to do this once per release.
Look in your newly created t-engine4 directory (something like 't-engine4-linux32-1.0.0beta40') and double click the file t-engine to execute it.
More detailed info for command-line users:
Open a command line, cd to your Downloads directory, and use t-engine4-linux32-1.0.0beta40.tar.bz2 ; tar xvf t-engine4-linux32-1.0.0beta40.tar to unpack the .tar.bz file you downloaded. You only need to do this once per release.
cd t-engine4-linux32-1.0.0beta40 to move get into the new directory, ./t-engine to start playing.

How do I install the Linux version of TOME in Ubuntu?
I am a total Ubuntu/Linux neophyte.

Thank you

I'm not sure where on the wiki info like this would go, so someone who knows better can feel free to repost/move this there.
The basic steps that worked for me in Xubuntu 12.04 (Precise):If you're using normal Ubuntu (specifically, with Unity) you might have to adjust the windows-and-icons bit below a little. I'm using xubuntu specifically to avoid Unity, my knowledge of how it works is at the very-beginner level.
