For Steam deck users: Refer to the Flatpak section.
Any distribution (Flatpak)
First you will have to open up a terminal and add the Flathub repository.
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
The next step would be to add the launcher repository as well. Note: If you want to apply these changes outside of just your current user, remove the --user flag.
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user launcher.moe https://gol.launcher.moe/gol.launcher.moe.flatpakrepo
Then you would need to install the gnome platform:
flatpak install org.gnome.Platform//45
Lastly, you can install the launcher by running the following:
flatpak install launcher.moe moe.launcher.an-anime-game-launcher
Flatpak has additional configuration options which you can view here
Any distribution (Distrobox)
If you haven't done so already, install Distrobox with the right method for your own distribution, for example, on immutable editions of Fedora you would run:
rpm-ostree install distrobox
From here it's assumed you want to create an Arch container, but it will work with any of the other supported distributions down below,
so adjust the commands accordingly to the distribution you picked to use in the container
(you may skip this step, but it will allow you to keep your home folder clean)
Then create a folder to store the home for your container:
mkdir -p "$HOME/.local/share/box-homes/arch"
Create a container with Distrobox:
distrobox create \
--name box-arch \
--home "$HOME/.local/share/box-homes/arch" \
--image docker.io/library/archlinux:latest
Enter the container and wait for it to complete the initialization, it may take a little while:
distrobox enter box-arch
After that follow the appropriate guide below for the distribution you installed as a container to install the launcher.
Then manually patch the game
cd "$HOME/.local/share/anime-game-launcher/anime game"
sh "$HOME/.local/share/anime-game-launcher/patch/360/patch.sh"
Open a new terminal with your host shell and edit /etc/hosts:
sudo nano /etc/hosts
paste the output of the patch.sh script within -- Adding analytics servers and -- Failed at the end of the file, it should look something like this:
# anime game logging servers (do not remove!)
0.0.0.0 <some-domain>.<com>
Finally, from within the launcher, disable the XLUA patch option to be able to launch the game.
Arch Linux (AUR)
Using an AUR helper
You can install the launcher like any other AUR package using yay or other preferred AUR helpers.
yay -S an-anime-game-launcher-bin
Without an AUR helper
First you will have to clone the repository.
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/an-anime-game-launcher-bin.git
Then move in to the repository directory.
cd an-anime-game-launcher-bin
And build the package.
makepkg -si
Note: Any missing dependencies not included in the base Arch repositories using this method will have to be fetched and install from the AUR manually.
Fedora (RPM)
Users of Fedora Rawhide will have to add this repository
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Maroxy:/AAT-Apps/Fedora_Rawhide/home:Maroxy:AAT-Apps.repo
Lastly, the launcher can be installed by running the following:
sudo dnf install an-anime-game-launcher
openSUSE Tumbleweed (RPM)
First you will need to add the launcher repository by running the following.
sudo zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Maroxy:/AAT-Apps/openSUSE_Tumbleweed aatrepo
Or for slowroll:
sudo zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Maroxy:/AAT-Apps/openSUSE_Slowroll aatrepo
Then you can install the launcher with the following command:
sudo zypper install an-anime-game-launcher
Gentoo Linux (Ebuild)
Make sure that app-eselect/eselect-repository and dev-vcs/git is installed.
After that add the launcher's overlay.
eselect repository add the-anime-team git https://github.com/an-anime-team/gentoo-ebuilds.git
And sync the repository.
emaint sync -r the-anime-team
Finally, emerge the launcher by running:
emerge --ask games-misc/an-anime-game-launcher
NixOS (nixpkg)
Cachix
It is recommended that you set up Cachix before the installation as not have to compile the launcher yourself. You can do so by running
nix-shell -p cachix --run "cachix use ezkea"
Or alternatively in a declarative way by appending the following to your configuration.nix
{
nix.settings = {
substituters = [ "https://ezkea.cachix.org" ];
trusted-public-keys = [ "ezkea.cachix.org-1:ioBmUbJTZIKsHmWWXPe1FSFbeVe+afhfgqgTSNd34eI=" ];
};
}
Installation
Add the following to your configuration.nix.
let
aagl-gtk-on-nix = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/ezKEa/aagl-gtk-on-nix/archive/main.tar.gz");
in
{
imports = [
aagl-gtk-on-nix.module
];
programs.an-anime-game-launcher.enable = true;
}
Then install the launcher by running:
nixos-rebuild switch
Alternatively, you can install the launcher using home-manager by adding the following to your home.nix.
let
aagl-gtk-on-nix = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/ezKEa/aagl-gtk-on-nix/archive/main.tar.gz");
in
{
home.packages = [ aagl-gtk-on-nix.an-anime-game-launcher ];
}
For installation through the nix package manager on other distributions refer to the instructions in this repository.
Lutris
First you will need to install Lutris if not already installed simply follow the instructions on lutris.net
Then you can install the launcher by clicking here and then scroll down till AAGL and click install.
Any distribution (Executable)
Grab the latest binary from the Release page. Then set execution permissions for the binary.
chmod +x an-anime-game-laucher
And run the launcher with the following:
./an-anime-game-launcher
You will have to install any missing dependencies yourself.
