Tutorial Update/Run RM on Linux

This guide is for people who have problems with updating RuneMate with the default RuneMate updater and for lazy people that want to use an easy way of downloading the standalone version.

While reading the guide, you will see an USER which is required for you to change to your username of ur user, it can be found at /home/

1. Create a runemate.sh file at ur Documents directory with the following code: (this will run runemate)

Code (Text):

1. #!/bin/sh
2. java -jar "/home/USER/Documents/RuneMate.jar"

Instead of "java" you can use your own java directory which you might've downloaded and extracted, example:

Code (Text):

1. #!/bin/sh
2. "/home/USER/Downloads/jdk1.8.0_161/bin/java" -jar "/home/USER/Documents/RuneMate.jar"

and make it executable with: chmod +x /home/USER/Documents/runemate.sh

2. Create a rmupdate.sh file at ur Documents directory also, with this code: (this will update runemate for you if there is an update)

Code (Text):

1. wget -O RuneMate.jar https://www.runemate.com/client/download.php

Whenever you want to update RuneMate just open up a terminal, navigate to Documents directory and open the rmupdate.sh with: ./rmupdate.sh

3. If you want to have an application in your start menu, you can create a file at: (This step was done on Arch Linux, i'm not sure how it works on other distros)
.local/share/applications/

with following code:

Code (Text):

1. [Desktop Entry]
2. Type=Application
3. Name=RuneMate
4. Exec="/home/USER/Documents/runemate.sh"
5. Categories=Application;
6. Terminal=true
7. Icon=
8. Comment=
9. Path=
10. StartupNotify=false
11. [Desktop Entry]
12. Type=Application
13. Name=RuneMate
14. Exec="/home/qverkk/Documents/runemate.sh"
15. Categories=Application;
16. Terminal=true
17. Icon=
18. Comment=
19. Path=
20. StartupNotify=false

 

Oh thanks for the tip and i didn't do anything with the rsu-client rather than just installing from the AUR, didn't even copy the jagecache

 

On which OS are you trying to use this?

 

Sure not a problem man

 

just install jdk 8 for ubuntu and unix runescape

this is for runescape:

Code (Text):

1. sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hikariknight/unix-runescape-client
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install unix-runescape-client

this is for java

Code (Text):

1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

And then install runemate and u should be good to go
