Can I install Godot Engine using Command Line?
Answer adapted from here: https://cialu.net/install-godot-game-engine-on-fedora-or-ubuntu/
First, download the appropriate version for your system (32 bit or 64 bit) from the Godot Download Page.
Open a Terminal window and enter:
unzip Godot_v2.1-stable_x11.64.zip
After, move the executable to /opt folder:
sudo mkdir /opt/Godot/
sudo mv Godot_v2.1-stable_x11.64 /opt/Godot/Godot
And make it executable:
sudo chmod +x /opt/Godot/Godot
Then, create and edit a launcher for Godot executable:
cd ~/.local/share/applications/
nano godot.desktop
Populate the .desktop file, writing this in nano, saving with CTRL-O and exiting with CTRL-X:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Godot Engine
GenericName=Libre game engine
Comment=Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine with a feature rich editor
Exec=/opt/Godot/Godot -pm
Icon=godot
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;IDE;
And now you can launch Godot from your desktop system. If you want to customize the icon, just put the Godot icon in your theme and name it godot
.
My preferred way of installing software(If it's available):
sudo snap install godot
