It's really hard to install BYOND for linux lol. I'm new to linux and I can't figure out what to "make" it doesn't give any directions on what i should type after "make". Can anyone help me?(I'm not sure if this is the right place for this)

Not sure what you did wrong, I followed the above steps without any problem.
Are you sure you did a "unzip byond_linux.zip"? |

As a Linux newb, it also took me a little while. I took the contents of the unzipped BYOND folder, copy+pasted them into /home/youraccount, then did a new terminal and "make here"
After that, just type DreamSeeker, DreamMaker, or DreamDaemon. |

If you have Gnome you can type "Gedit .bash_profile" in your base directory. To make sure you HAVE the file you can type "ls -a" in your home directory. I haven't messed with Linux much, so I don't know the best way of editing files from the commandline, I know how to overwrite certain files with certain stuff, but that would delete your existing .bash_profile stuff.

I like to use either pico or nano. They're fairly similar to DOS's edit, and easy to use. |

I learn a new command or two a day, thanks, I'll remember those.

I simply did a search for the .bash_profile and edited that. Make sure you edit the correct one!

ok here, step by step :
edit your profile, if you aren't going to use a startup script by doing this at the command prompt edit ~/.profile then in your base directory for example, /home/banana , create a directory called moose. mkdir moose cd moose wget http://developer.byond.com/download/byond_linux.zip (assuming you have plain linux, if you have bsd replace that link with the actual bsd link OR manually use FTP and upload the file to that directory) then unzip *.zip cd byond make here cd bin if you want to make life easier type bash then go to http://developer.byond.com/forum/ index.cgi?action=message_read&id=242061&forum=4&view=0 and get my script and use it and you are set.

As user "root":
1. unzip byond_linux.zip
2. cd byond
3. make
If you want to install it to just a single account...
As that user:
1. unzip byond_linux.zip
2. cd byond
