Installation Steps​

Step 1: Downloading the Installation Script​

Open a terminal and run the following command to download the installation script:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gml-Launcher/Gml.Backend.Installer/refs/heads/master/installer.sh

This command downloads the installation script from the GitHub repository.

Step 2: Make the Script Executable​

After the script is downloaded, you need to make it executable by running:

chmod +x ./installer.sh

This command gives the script permission to run on your system.

Step 3: Run the Installation​

Now you can start the installation by running:

./installer.sh --version v2025.3.2

The script will guide you through the installation process with prompts in Russian. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Troubleshooting​

If you encounter problems during the installation:

  • Make sure you have an internet connection
  • Check that you have administrative rights (try running with sudo if necessary)
  • Check that the commands are entered correctly
  • If the script fails to download, you can download it manually from the GitHub repository
