How to install the Jagex launcher on Deepin 23

In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing the Jagex launcher on Deepin 23. The Jagex launcher is a versatile tool for accessing popular games like RuneScape and Old School RuneScape. By following these steps, you'll be able to enjoy your favorite Jagex games on your Deepin Linux system.

Understanding Flatpak

Before we begin, it's important to understand what Flatpak is. Flatpak is a universal packaging system for Linux that allows applications to be installed and run on any Linux distribution. It provides a sandboxed environment for applications, enhancing security and reducing conflicts between different software packages.

Installation Process

We'll go through this process step-by-step, starting with installing Flatpak, then adding necessary repositories, and finally installing the Jagex launcher and its components.

Step 1: Install Flatpak

First, we need to install Flatpak on your Deepin 23 system. Open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt install flatpak

Step 2: Add Flathub Repository

Next, we'll add the Flathub repository, which hosts a wide variety of Flatpak applications:

flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Step 3: Add Jagex Repository

Now, let's add the Jagex-specific repository:

flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists JagexLauncher https://jagexlauncher.flatpak.mcswain.dev/JagexLauncher.flatpakrepo

Step 4: Install Required Components

We need to install some additional components to ensure compatibility:

flatpak install --user flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.Compat.i386/x86_64/23.08
flatpak install --user flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default/x86_64/23.08

Step 5: Install Jagex Launcher and Third-Party Clients

Finally, we'll install the Jagex Launcher and popular third-party clients:

flatpak install --user JagexLauncher com.jagex.Launcher
flatpak install --user JagexLauncher com.jagex.Launcher.ThirdParty.RuneLite
flatpak install --user JagexLauncher com.jagex.Launcher.ThirdParty.HDOS
