First make sure you have Java properly installed. Running "java -version" in the terminal should return the version.
Download whichever haven client you want to use.
This may or may not be available on your file manager but you should be able to right click inside the directory with the client (which should be a .jar file) and select something like "open terminal here" which will open a terminal window already pathed to that location. What you type into your terminal window now will vary depending on what client you're using. I'm using the ender client so "java -jar updater-hafen.jar". The default client should be something like autohaven-[yourusername].jar so "java -jar autohaven-[yourusername].jar"

once java is installed you just need to double click the autohaven.jar

Firefox saves autohaven.jar into Download folder, I usually copy it to desktop

when you double click it should ask what to do, in which case you choose "run with java" or with "OpenJDK"

Or

Create some launch batch file like "run.sh" or "Haven <Vanilla/Ender/etc> Client.sh" (extension optional)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

cd "~/Games/etc/<path to your HnH game folder>"
## note: leading "~" == "/Home/<current user>"

java -jar <the hafen jar file you like to run. including the .jar extention>
## Can contain additional options (search forum), but should do fine without them.


Don't forget to mark this file as executable.
Now you can run it with that, or any link to that file (like from your desktop).


Zorin "Jelly Mode". lol, That's funny. Not sure about it being actually useful.

jelly mode it's probably from old Compiz window manger
