Title: trying to install on my mac via wine using GOG version
Post by: RobOne4 on January 09, 2021, 09:57 PM

I got all the way to the step of downloading the latest version from GOG

Quote

Using the GOG edition
In your web browser, log in with a GOG account that has purchased the game, then download the full latest installer via this link. After it is downloaded, use the following command to install it (example for version 3.8.1, change to yours if different):

wine ~/Downloads/setup_worms_armageddon_gog-3.8.1_(43454).exe

but when I type in that command i get a syntax error

Quote

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

my file name and everything matches up. I have it in my downloads folder but it just wont install. Any clues?

I think you may need to add \ before ( and ). Try this and let me know if it works:

Code: [Select]

wine ~/Downloads/setup_worms_armageddon_gog-3.8.1_\(43454\).exe
If it doesn't work, try double quotes:

Code: [Select]

wine "~/Downloads/setup_worms_armageddon_gog-3.8.1_(43454).exe"

You need to specify where you installed it, if you didn't change it during setup then I think by default it is "GOG Games" instead of "Games", so try that path.

Code: [Select]

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Worms\ Armageddon/wa.exe
Assuming you are using the default C: drive in wine and that the home directory is unchanged.
