Nice, you report also what is not tested... it is so because it is the MikroTik forum?

This is a humble contribution to the community.
Supported is not the same as tested, it's detailed for a reason.
This is an open source project, if you want you can contribute, otherwise do not despise the work of another.

I haven't written a word of contempt, I just point out things.

For example, "intall"... with find and replace it's a snap to fix it...
This should make you understand that I have looked at it, that if I thought it was useless, I would not have bothered to read it or report it.

You also have "Link Mint" instead of "Linux Mint"

@Larsa, read first the other posts, like #4.

But...

You should reread what I wrote at the end of #2 in a different light...
If you guess the right light, everything will be much clearer...

[DudeInstaller] Please run the tool as root or use: sudo ./dude-install.sh
Ain’t gonna happen. :? Are there any other options? This↑ is reported already at step 1, “Check Dependencies”. No root needed, no root granted.

Dude, you may want to show some screenshots/printscreens. It's not even clear if this requires a desktop or if it's shell-based. Or make a video showing us what it looks like. This is such a weird self-involved promo-page. You seem to forget that there are humans out there who see this not even knowing what the Dude is. Please, take the effort for 5 minutes to describe what you've created, for crying out loud.

That's a bit harsh. If you don't know what the Dude is or need Dude client run on a normal Linux desktop ... I think it's obvious the shell script might not be of much use ;).

For background, the Dude client* is 32-bit Windows app. While wine allows Windows apps to run on linux, modern Linux do not include 32-bit architecture libraries that wine needs to run 32-bit Windows applications, via "wine" emulator package. It's 32-bit part that necessitates a rather complex, and disto specific, process to actually get the Dude running on Linux.

Since winbox does have a 64-bit executable, the steps to install wine are more streamlined. But the Dude client does not have a 64-bit version, thus a rather complicate road to get running on Linux – why OP created a script since one thing wrong and wine/Dude wouldn't run ;)

And to the post about "root" — get the concern — but it not that hard to read the script and perform same steps by hand. But it the really the pre-req packages that require root to be install in my quick read (e.g. 32-bit architecture ones, among others).


* FWIW, the Dude server runs on a Mikrotik with extra-package installed – so that has nothing to do with this, other than without a server, a client be useless ;).
