Failed to install on Steam deck

If you failed to install the launcher on your Steam deck with the command provided in the readme, you're in the right place.
SteamOS can't compile the launcher because some dependecies are missing from the OS, in this case you have two solution to fix this issue :

  1. Find and install every package you need in order to compile the launcher with the error provided by the compiler
    or
  2. You can use the script we made to compile the launcher with a different environment

we will chose the second options here, I will not enter on the detail during this tutorial because it's just for troubleshooting purpose.

First you need to disable read only mode of SteamOS (we will renable it afterward) :

sudo steamos-readonly disable

Then if it's not already done, install Rust :

sudo pacman -S rust

You can then renable read only mode :

sudo steamos-readonly enable

You can then run the script we made by doing :

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ALEZ-DEV/Babylonia-terminal/master/build.sh)

!! Important !!

the script will ask you if you are on steam deck or not, please enter y

Failed to install on any other distro than SteamOS

If you failed to install the launcher on your distribution with the command provided in the readme, you're in the right place.
Your distro can't compile the launcher because some dependecies are missing from the OS, in this case you have two solution to fix this issue :

  1. Find and install every package you need in order to compile the launcher with the error provided by the compiler (take some time but okay)
    or
  2. You can use the script we made to compile the launcher with a different environment

we will chose the second options here, I will just indicate what app you need to install in order to run the script, you're the one who need to figure it out how to install it (With your package manager for exemple)

  1. You need to install Rust
  2. You need to install Podman
  3. You can then run the script by running the following command :
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ALEZ-DEV/Babylonia-terminal/master/build.sh)
