An osu-wine installer, forked from mrniceguy127's (old) installer. This one basically just goes through the steps listed here with the exception of the optional Japanese fonts fix.
Stop changing the path by hand in the script you dinguses, there's info on how to set a custom path:
You can specifiy your own WINEPREFIX, WINESERVER, WINE and WINETRICKS in your environment. Defaults are used otherwise of course. e.g. WINEPREFIX="..." WINE="..." WINESERVER="..." ./install-osu
The most relevant for you if you want to install osu in a non-default location would be WINEPREFIX="/your/path/for/osu" ./install-osu
This guide is focused and optimized for Arch Linux and other distros based on it (e.g. EndeavourOS, etc.)
This is 100% relevant to nVidia/Intel GPUs. AMD GPUs should be fine but in case any issues come up refer to this.
PLEASE INSTALL THE APPROPRIATE GRAPHICS DRIVERS/PACKAGES https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md
The easiest way to get all relevant dependencies installed is to follow the Lutris documentation on installing the most important dependencies needed for gaming. This will especially be useful for people planning to play osu on nVidia and Intel GPUs as they usually run more quickly into issues but AMD users are not 100% exempt from needing troubleshooting.
Some distros do not ship the necessary package for osu to connect to its servers. This can prevent the initial client install to work properly.
Following package should help solve this issue:
Arch - lib32-gnutls
To prevent an error code in terminal when trying to launch osu which reads X Error of failed request: BadWindow or something similar you will need to install the following packages first:
Arch - lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs lib32-libxcomposite icoutils
For nVidia Cards:
Make sure lib32-nvidia-utils is installed or else the game won't run at full speed for some reason.
- Install wine and winetricks. This has been tested with the latest version of wine-staging 9.8 at the time of writing.
git clone https://github.com/marshallracer/osu-wine-install-scriptcd osu-wine-install-script./install-osu- DO NOT INSTALL MONO - Keep in mind that because of the necessary dependencies installed through winetricks it WILL take a while to install everything. osu! will also launch at some point, so make sure to close it when it does.
- Add the path the launcher is installed to to your PATH if it isn't already. Copy
export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin/:$PATHand add it to your users bash profile just as explained in this Arch Wiki article.
- Launch osu. You can either type
osuin the command line, or if you like GUI's, you can just search "osu" in whatever application launcher you might have. Use the commandosukillto force kill osu.
Check here.
Thanks to jvyden for their code which includes discordrpc during the install. It should launch automatically when starting osu! via terminal or through your application launcher.
- Default WINEPREFIX:
~/Games/osu-wine - osu! folder shortcut:
~/Games/osu - osu! launch script:
~/.local/bin/osu - osu! kill script:
~/.local/bin/osukill - osu! desktop file:
~/.local/share/applications/osu!.desktop - osu! logo file:
~/.local/share/icons/osulogo.png
- NOTE FOR NON-ARCH DISTRO USERS:
If you can ensure lib32-gnutls or some equivalent is present on your system and all other prerequisites are fulfilled then this guide should work fine but I can't guarantee anything
- The script is stuck! (this should hopefully not happen anymore but stays in case your install may hang anyway)
Running /usr/bin/wineserver -w. This will hang until all wine processes in prefix=/home/user/osu-wine terminate
Winetricks sometimes gets stuck while setting the windows version after installing .NET. Whenever it gets stuck just type the following command in a seperate terminal: WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Games/osu-wine" wineserver -k.
