Sadly I'm not 100% sure how to do on Linux. I actually use ENIGMA on Windows. I think this page is quite up-to-date: http://enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Install:Linux and http://enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Install:Git. Maybe an easier "line by line" instruction could be made for Linux users though. ENIGMA is open-source and multiplatform, but it is not designed for Ubuntu or connected to it. Most of development in recent months has actually happened on Windows and Linux is more seldom tested.

I previously installed enigma on Linux, I found I had difficulty every time, but cannot recall how I managed to get it working in the end. Honestly though, I prefer to run Enigma on Linux than I do to run it on Windows, I have no idea why though. I was going to reinstall Linux sometime in the near future; I corrupted some audio-related stuff and it stutters all the time, so I may explain stuff that isn't covered in the wiki.

Just a quick update, I planned the bump by the way. Here's a guide based on everything I just did on a fresh install.
1) open terminal 2) install the dependencies
sudo apt-get install g++ zlib1g-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libalure-dev libvorbisfile3 libvorbis-dev libdumb1-dev 3) Install Git if you haven't already
sudo apt-get install git 4) pull the repository using Git
git clone git://github.com/enigma-dev/enigma-dev.git 5) cd to enigma-dev
cd enigma-dev/ 6) run the install.py file
python install.py 7) run lateralgm.jar
java -jar lateralgm.jar Once you've done that, allow the program to load up, and keep an eye on the terminal window until you see "Done." I also recommend clicking the preferences button (second from last on the macros bar at the top), going to the "Appearence" tab, and setting the theme to GTK+ It looks nicer than any Java theme. And it gives you a nice application panel ("taskbar"), making it easier to navigate through open windows.
Honestly, Enigma is better than GM, but it can be very clunky and unstable in Windows. It's the only real reason I'm going back to Linux. But then again, I only have one reason to keep using Windows, so whichever OS I'm in I'm comfortable excluding one program.

I've actually had some issues with windows. The installer doesn't work for me, and I think to fix it, I had to download a different version of LGM and enigma plugin. With that version of LGM, it corrupts nearly all of my projects upon opening them. I ended up rolling back to an old backup of ENIGMA that I have Including LGM (not sure how old), and this one compiles. I tried using this older version of LGM with the newer enigma, but that won't work either. I'm not sure if there's a more stable setup?

hm.. that's a little odd :/ I will send you my enigma files from my windows partition, let me just retrieve them for you... But as I said, ENIGMA works so much better on Linux, I only use it on windows to compile .exe files. Edit: here ya go https://www.dropbox.com/s/42db38sfyfeyw5t/InstallEnigma.exe?dl=1It was in my dropbox, I think I mashed together a 7z installer for a friend which you could try.

I appreciate it @HitCoder, but it appears that it's doing the same as the zip installer. I'm thinking it might be something to do with my windows 10 installation

I think its my version of java. If i reinstall it, and reboot, it works fine for a while, but then it eventually lags when starting up, sometimes taking up to 15 minutes just to load. What version of java do you have?

Thanks Hitcoder it worked!!! Now I just hope it can do 3d like the Gamemaker. Hopefully better. Looks promising.
Glad to be of assistance =) Yes, Enigma has 3D capabilities but I haven't used them myself, good luck.
