LiveSplit Linux Portable

A "one-click" portable wrapper for running the Windows version of LiveSplit on Linux with full Global Hotkey support.

Features

• Global Hotkeys: Works even when LiveSplit isn't focused.
• Pre-configured: Includes the necessary Wine prefix for fonts and .NET.
• No Install: Just extract and run.

Setup

1. Download the latest LiveSplit-Portable-Linux.zip from the Releases tab.
2. Extract the folder.
3. Run the following command once to allow hotkeys: sudo usermod -aG input $USER (Then log out and back in).
4. Double-click Run.sh.
5. In LiveSplit, go to Control -> Start TCP Server.

Troubleshooting

If it doesn't start, ensure you have zenity installed for error popups.

My hotkeys don't work

1. Ensure you have added yourself to the input group. You can do this by running sudo usermod -aG input $USER (Then log out and back in).
2. Try restarting your computer if logging out didn't work.
3. Ensure you restart the application after any hotkey changes (A fix is coming soon).

The download is large due to the packaging of wine within it. This wine is preconfigured with the libraries needed to run livesplit properly
