Hi everyone, I am relatively new to Linux and am having an issue with the script. I was able to follow along most of the way, and generated the deb packages according to the instructions. I was able to install the terraria-data package just fine, but I could not get either the amd64 nor i386 packages to install. I receive the following error: And then it dumps me back to prompt. Error messages are similar for the i386 package, but substitute i386 for amd64 in each place.

I looked through my installed packages, and I already have versions installed of each of the 3 that are generating errors, though they lack the :amd64 or :i386, which I am not sure if that is supposed to be there or if it is something appended by the script. I am stuck in figuring out how to resolve this issue. Any insight you might have would be appreciated.

I think there might be something broken in your packages manager, let us see if we can fix that ;)

I need some information about your environment first:
What is the Linux distribution you are using?
Can you post here the return of the following command?

Thanks for the quick response!

I have Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi. I am really hoping that's not an issue, since the Pi was both a gift for my son and primarily intended to be a learning tool for both school-from-home and other things he wants to learn on his own. His favorite game ever is Terraria, and he is psyched about getting the chance to play it on his own computer.

apt-cache returns the following: Hopefully that helps.

That is the issue: the Raspberry Pi uses a CPU architecture that is not supported by ./play.it yet.

I am not sure it is supported by Terraria either, but as this is a Mono game there may be some tweaks allowing to run it anyway. Sadly I am not competent to help you on this front.

From a quick search on the Web I found quite a few guide on how to host a Terraria server on a Raspberry Pi, but nothing about actually playing the game on one.

Dang. Saying that this is disappointing is an understatement, but I appreciate all the help regardless.

Update

Work around terminfo Mono bug, cf. System.TermInfoReader cannot handle new NCurses 6 TermInfo files

Drop some shipped libraries in favour of system ones.
