A BASH script that automatically installs the Godot game engine, with system integration and version management, on Ubuntu.

Godot-wrapper

NOTE: This repository is now archived. However, it probably still works, but I haven't touched the code in many years and there appears to be a much better featured alternative available, called GodotEnv, which I recommend you to consider instead.

A BASH script that downloads and integrates the Godot engine for Ubuntu. It also enables version managing and installation of git master. The application icon belongs to the Godot project.

There's a one-liner copy-and-paste here below to get Godot installed:

git clone https://github.com/nsrosenqvist/godot-wrapper.git godot && cd godot && ./godot dependencies && ./godot install

Now you should be able to launch Godot from the application menu or the terminal. See all the features that the script provides by running godot help.

To get you started I've included some basic examples here below.

HowTo

To install another release of Godot you can run:

godot install 1.0-rc2

If you want to run the bleeding edge of Godot you can install git master with:

godot install master

The good part is that they can all be installed at the same time! Just run the following to switch back to the stable version:

godot use 1.0-stable

The active version will be the one launched through the application menu as well. So it's really easy to switch environments!

Run godot releases to view all installable versions (based upon the tags on the git repo).
