Welcome to CKAN Discussions!

Hi all

This is a new GitHub feature that looks like it might be useful for CKAN users and developers. We're going to try it out and see how it goes.

Below is the default intro text that GitHub fills in for us, left unchanged so you can see the idea behind it. Don't feel obligated to introduce yourself. 😉

Oh interesting. Forums for GitHub, neat. 👋

So, might just be me, but I can't seem to understand what I am doing when I need to add a KSP instance, what file am I supposed to be selecting?

[HebaruSan]

Assuming you're in the GUI, you're supposed to pick the buildID.txt or buildID64.txt file.

[crazydied2]

Alright, thank you.

It wasn't just you, I just had that issue as well. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to give it as a base. I noticed that it was screening for text files, though, so I picked the only one that was in the base application directory. All's well that ends well.

Help! I ran SCAN on version ksp 1.3.1 and it gives me the following error: Failed to download https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN-meta/archive/master.tar.gz:

I just installed KSP on linux for the first time, and I installed ckan from the repository, however, I can't seem to figure out how to start it... I also can't figure out what directory its installed in.
Seems much more straightforward in windows, but KSP runs better in linux.

A launch script gets installed to /usr/bin/ckan , ckan.exe gets installed to /usr/lib/ckan/ckan.exe.
It also installs .desktop files to /usr/share/applications/ckan.desktop and /usr/share/applications/ckan-consoleui.desktop, so you should find two CKAN entries in your launcher / application starter / system menu / start menu, one for the GUI and one for the ConsoleUI.

[HebaruSan]

☝️ That's assuming you installed the .deb or .rpm files, btw. If you just downloaded the .exe, then it's wherever your browser put it, probably your Downloads folder.

[APAeroDan]

Ok, thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.

i cant find which link to click to download

[Postremus]

On the main github page of ksp-ckan (https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN), click on the "Releases" link. Its on the right side if you are on desktop. There you can find the exe for the latest release if you scroll down a bit.

[HebaruSan]

Or click the big Download button on that same page.
