Running Love on Linux in 2022

[knorke]

Open a terminal
cd into the folder where your love/lua files are

You can also use the file-browser to go to the directory and right-click: "open terminal here"
Then you do need to type the full path.

I think that was a typo, knorke, and I believe I've fixed it in the quote above. At least on my Linux setup if I open a terminal to the correct folder, I can just run "$ love ." to run the love project in the current directory. (Note that leaving out the . results in a No Game screen.)

Indeed a typo.

In linux terminal the . means the current directory.
So "love ." means to start love with the current folder as argument.
Without the . it just starts love without any argument passed, so love shows the no-game-screen.
