HOW TO: Install the client in UBUNTU (LINUX)

1) Mono comes pre-installed on Ubuntu 10.04

2) Go to Applications => Software Center and search for "visualbasic" this should give you the library "libmono-microsoft-visualbasic8.0-cil"

3) Install this library

4) unzip the STHS client to a directory of your choice

5) run the client using the command "mono SimonTHockeySimulator.exe"

Thanks ! I'll sure be testing this how-to soon.

I already tried to use it in Ubuntu and it worked only once (However, I almost do the same steps as you, install the VisualBasic Library). I was unable to see all the teams of the league and reopened the file as suggested somewhere else for Windows. Unfortunately, it's now unable to reopen the file. I just didn't try it again. I'll try it again soon.

I found this post after having to do a lot of digging.

Simon, it might save users a lot of trouble if you put this information in the README file that comes with the Mono distribution of the STHS client.

"Users will need to install the Mono Visual Basic 2005 (8.0) runtime for their version of Linux/Mac in order to use this software."

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi everyone. I ran a test and I was able to get the STHS Mono Client working on the Ubuntu 20.04 by installing the requirement with the following command line.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install gnupg ca-certificates
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-focal main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install mono-runtime
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
sudo apt-get install mono-vbnc
sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module
