How to install RenPy on Ubuntu?

Question

This is what I've done:

cd Downloads
tar -jxvf renpy-6.99.3-sdk.tar.bz2
./configure

And the result was:

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

The renpy-6.99.3-sdk folder contains the following folders:

doc launcher lib module renpy renpy.app templates the_question tutorial update

And the following archives:

LICENSE.txt renpy.exe renpy.py  renpy.sh

...

I've tried this:

cd Downloads
tar -jxvf renpy-6.99.3-sdk.tar.bz2
cd renpy-6.99.3-sdk
./configure

But the result is the same.

You could try to use the apt-get command to install Renpy:

sudo apt-get install renpy

I hope this is going to help, at least it worked for me :)

What you have downloaded is a standalone version of renpy, not a source tarball, so no configuration or build step is required.

You can run it directly using the provided shell script i.e. by cd'ing to the renpy-6.99.3-sdk/ directory and executing ./renpy.sh
