    Installation Tutorial for Linux users.


    Hi there, i'm writing this post to share a simple way i found to install PO on Linux (ubuntu based systems). And yes, i know there is the "Official" post but i found it difficult to understand for recent Linux users.
    It seem that the developpement of PO for linux has stopped, but with this way you will get the most recent version for PO on linux (even if the oficcial developpement has stopped).

    Adding requiered repository for the installation

    The repository is called "GetDEB games" they compile the battle simulator from the source code then they upload it to be accessible for every one.

    Open a terminal and paste the following commands depending on your ubuntu version:

    For Ubuntu Precise (12.04)/Elementary OS Luna/Based 12.04 systems
    wget -q -O - http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -

    sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu precise-getdeb games" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list'​

    For Ubuntu Trusty (14.04/14.04.1/14.04.2)/Elementary OS Freya/Linux Mint Rebecca/Based 14.04 systems
    wget -q -O - http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -​

    sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu trusty-getdeb games" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list'

    For Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn (14.10)/Based 14.10 systems
    wget -q -O - http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -

    sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu utopic-getdeb games" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list'​


    Installation
    Once we have added the requiered Repository, we must update the sources list with:

    sudo apt-get update
    And now, we will install Pokemon online with the following command:

    sudo apt-get install pokemon-online
    Congratulations! Now you have a 300% updated and funcional battle simulator!
    But if you want to install the plugin client:
    sudo apt-get install pokemon-online-client-plugins

    This was my first post, hope it was useful. :wink:
