The Squirrel installer is used to install the launcher & the launcher launches the eve client. | |||

https:// | Thread on the Eve Forums: [https://forums.eveonline.com/t/recap-of-vanguard-on-linux-after-first-strike/432438 Eve Forums] Below from an excelent write up from Katrina Bekers: | ||
* Use Steam, by opting-in the Beta branch and the code “TheInvitation” (case sensitive), installing the launcher from Steam, bypassing Squirrel altogether. | |||
* Manually extract the launcher package (“nupkg”, which is just a zip archive), and put it where it can be correctly run by WINE/Proton. Use this URL, modifying the version number adequately: https://launcher.ccpgames.com/eve-online/release/win32/x64/eve-online-1.1.0-full.nupkg | |||
* Use [[Linux#Lutris|Lutris]], which implements a workaround for the “run as Administrator” default behavior in WINE/Proton, thus letting Squirrel do its job, see [https://lutris.net/games/eve-online/ install notes]. | |||
* Get the Squirrel installer and modify the Setup file with a binary editor so that the check for Administrator is reversed, and the installer proceeds if the user has Administrator privileges. smurftek: If you want to use the beta launcher under wine / proton without going through steam or having to change a bunch of settings, edit the binary and at address 00407436 replace it with “b8 01 00 00 00” and presto the launcher will work anywhere. | |||

After picking your script from the Lutris website and following the installation procedure, an EVE Online icon will show up in your Lutris client UI. From this point, you can click on "EVE Online" to start the EVE Launcher. You may configure options for the game, runner or system. For troubleshooting, make sure '''Run Client with Logging''' is enabled in the EVE Launcher options. | After picking your script from the Lutris website and following the installation procedure, an EVE Online icon will show up in your Lutris client UI.

It is certainly doable and fun to get an installer, launcher & client to run with just the parts and get it to run, if you are so inclined please link your experience here. | |||
