Post Linux Installation Instructions?
I just bought the Humble Indie Bundle 2, and downloaded cortex_command-amd64-installer-build24.bin but I don't know what to do with it after that.
I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 and I believe my architecture is amd64.

Do the following:

- Rightclick the file you downloaded, go to security, select the checkbox "allow execution" or something.
- go to terminal, go to the directory where the file is eg "cd Downloads"
- type "./cortex_command-amd64-installer-build24.bin", and your done. An installation wizard pops up and helps you isntall it.
- Afterwards, to go applications --> games --> Cortex Command, enjoy.

Hello

I get the following error when trying to launch the installer:

NOTICE: Initial Lua setup failed. Cannot continue.

What do I do?

CC is out on Linux. Presumably to match the other stuff in the Humble Indie Bundle.

From what I hear around you'd be better off by running the windows version through wine.

The download is corrupted, re-download.
Also, indeed, Windows version ran through Wine works almost 2x better...
