Pathos: Netack Codex Flatpak Installation for Linux

Prerequestites

• 64-bit x86_64 CPU
• Flatpak enabled Linux distribution
• flatpak-builder installed
• git installed
• About 1.5GB free space in your $HOME directory

Building

This is a temporary step. Once the development team gets Pathos on Flathub, this step will be unessessary. The following instructions builds and installs the flatpak image of Pathos.

flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/24.08 org.winehq.Wine/x86_64/stable-24.08 org.freedesktop.Platform.Compat.i386/x86_64/24.08
cd ~/git
git clone https://github.com/hydrian/pathos-flatpak.git
cd ~/git/pathos-flatpak
./flatpak-build.sh

Running the Application

The first time you run the the flatpak it will have to setup a wine environment. This may take a while depending on your hardware.

You should have a 'Pathos' entry in your applciation menu.

If you have issues, try running it from the command line. This may help diagnose some issues.

flatpak run net.azurewebsites.pathos

Caveats

No Modding support

Do to the lack of Microsoft Visual Studio or Build Tools on Wine or native Linux, this cannot be supported.

Full-Screen is Wrong Sized

Do to Wine a issue, full-screen mode won't be supported as a default. Maxized window is recommended. If you want full-screen mode, take a look at Work Arounds

No i386 Support

The flatpak package only supports x86_64 even though the native Windows installer supports both i386 and x86_64. If there is enough demand, I may create an i386 build if there is enough demnd. Also, PR's are accepted for this feature.

Work Arounds

• Full-screen mode can be supported with custom configuration. See #3

Troubleshooting

Failed to Build image

You get this error:

Failed to build image

You have a messed up repo directory. Delete the build directory and rerun the flatpak-build.sh script.

rm -Rf ~/git/pathos-flatpak/.flatpak/repo
