How to install New Club Penguin on Linux Mint 22

In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing New Club Penguin on Linux Mint 22. New Club Penguin is an open-source recreation of the popular children's online game, Club Penguin, which was shut down by Disney in 2017. This project aims to keep the spirit of the original game alive for its dedicated fan base.

Background

New Club Penguin is built using modern web technologies, making it compatible with various operating systems, including Linux. The game offers a nostalgic experience for long-time fans and introduces new players to the beloved penguin-themed virtual world.

Installation Process

We'll be using the command line to install New Club Penguin. This method ensures you're getting the latest version directly from the official sources. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Download the Installer

First, we'll download the Linux installer from the official servers. Open your terminal and enter the following command:

wget https://github.com/New-Club-Penguin/NewCP-App-Build/releases/download/v1.6.1/newcp_1.6.1_amd64.deb

This command downloads the Debian package file for New Club Penguin version 1.6.1.

Step 2: Install the Package

Once the download is complete, we'll use the dpkg command to install the package:

sudo dpkg -i newcp_1.6.1_amd64.deb

This command may produce some dependency errors, which we'll resolve in the next step.

Step 3: Resolve Dependencies

To ensure all dependencies are properly installed, run the following command:

sudo apt -f install

This command will install any missing dependencies and complete the installation process.

Launching New Club Penguin

After installation, you should be able to find New Club Penguin in your application menu. Launch it like any other application, and you'll be ready to waddle around the virtual world!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during installation, here are a few tips:

  • Ensure your system is up to date by running sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade before installation.
  • Check that you have sufficient disk space for the installation.
