⚠️ ALPHA BUILD ⚠️

Guitar Pro 8 on Linux

Install Guitar Pro 8 on Linux through Wine and Wineget.

Note: This is a full rework of the forked repository. It only uses the core install functionality from it.

Another note: This is built and tested for Linux Mint / Cinnamon. Other distros are not officially supported, but feel free to open up an issue for other distros.

Usage

How to use the scripts.

Installation

Run the install script.

To install, run:

bash <(wget -qO- https://nikoboinftb.github.io/shell/gp8/install)

It will clone/update this repository locally, allowing for easy file copying.

The install script runs the build script automatically, which actually builds the app.

Updating

Running build or the command above again will fully re-install Guitar Pro 8 from scratch and should update all included files from this repository.

Reset

Worked for a day, then just stopped working. Troubleshooting.

The reset script will wipe the registry and config files of the installation. This is useful if Guitar Pro "breaks" (wink, wink).

This repo also includes a reset.bat, for Windows.

Bonus Tip

You can set the desktop icon to run both the reset and the startup scripts. Simply change:

Exec=$HOME/Applications/Windows/Guitar-Pro-8/startup

to:

Exec=$HOME/Applications/Windows/Guitar-Pro-8/reset-and-startup

Note. It cannot literally say "$HOME", that does not work. Use your home directory. To find out what your home directory is, run:

echo "$HOME"

And use that in place of $HOME.
