What is Loki Setup FOR LINUX?

Loki Setup

Loki Setup is a handy installer program made especially for games. You can use it on almost any UNIX-like system. Right now, it gives you an ncurses-based GUI for console or server installs. If you're using X-Windows, you'll get to enjoy the GTK+ interface instead. Here's a quick list of platforms that Loki Setup works on:

Platforms Supported by Loki Setup

• AIX


• FreeBSD


• HP-UX


• IRIX


• Linux


• Mac OS X


• SCO OpenServer / OpenUNIX


• SunOS

Loki Patch Tools

Loki Patch is a collection of tools designed to create binary patches. You can use these either alone or together with loki_update.

Loki Update Program

The Loki Update program is another great tool for game updates, which also runs on pretty much any UNIX-like platform. Similar to Loki Setup, it supports a console interface for easy updates without interaction. If you're using X-Windows, you'll see the cool GTK+ interface. You can check out screenshots of the GTK+ interface here and here.

Loki's Database Connection

The tools like loki_setup, loki_patch, and loki_update depend on something called loki_setupdb. This xml-based database keeps track of installs and versions among other things.
