Monkey on Ubuntu?

Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/Monkey on Ubuntu?

So I bought Monkey Pro, it runs fine on Windows, but I copied the file over to my Ubuntu linux machine and I can't seem to find the Linux file to run Monkey, like the executable is not working or something. I have all the files in the Monkey Pro folder.


- bananas
- bin
- docs
- modules
- modules_ext
- Monkey.app
- src
- targets
- Monkey << I clicked that file.
- Monkey.exe
- README.txt
- VERSIONS.txt


If I double click "Monkey" Ubuntu says "Could not display 'Monkey' "

Any ideas? I'm new to Linux by the way. xD

Not sure if this will help you, but I managed to get it working after following the steps outlined here: http://monkeycoder.co.nz/Community/posts.php?topic=5915

Did you update the system before you tried to install all the development files? You should alway update the system before trying any thing.

And this is how you set the execute permissions.
chmod +x ~/MonkeyPro73b/Monkey
chmod +x ~/MonkeyPro73b/bin/makedocs_linux
chmod +x ~/MonkeyPro73b/bin/mserver_linux
chmod +x ~/MonkeyPro73b/bin/Ted
chmod +x ~/MonkeyPro73b/bin/transcc_linux

If you get permission denied use
chown -R user-name ~/MonkeyPro73b



This helped thank you for the link:P
