Is Optifine on Linux?

Hi! I wanted to download a shader for Minecraft (looked at tutorials). The guy in the tutorial said that Optifine must download. I did that Optifine wanted to open and the following stood there. OptiFine_1.14.4_HD_U_F5 (1) .jar 'is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. I can't open it.

Of course Optifine should also work under Linux. The only thing you need is Java for Linux and open Optifine installation file like yours ("OptiFine_1.14.4_HD_U_F5 (1) .jar") in Java.

Right click on it → Properties → Access rights → Execute file as program.

Then you can open it by double-clicking.

Hi

Is Optifine on Linux?

No and yes

It is neither a native program for Windows nor native for GNU / Linux systems but a Java application. This means that it runs everywhere where the Java interpreter runs, is executable.

OptiFine_1.14.4_HD_U_F5 (1) .jar 'is not marked as executable.

So you have to mark the file as executable first:

chmod + x OptiFine_1.14.4_HD_U_F5 (1) .jar

Then you can start it too

java jar OptiFine_1.14.4_HD_U_F5 (1) .jar

Where I rename the file first, especially the brackets would remove.
