How do I start vassal in Linux?

Sure, should have thought of that too. Basically, I had to:

  1. learn the command line syntax, e.g. cd, ls, etc., enough to be able to change directories and list out files.
  2. Figure out the file structure of the chromebook, which (on mine) is mnt/chromeos/[MyID]/Myfiles and so on. The vassal.sh file helped clue me in on that. Double clicking on the vassal.sh file resolved to the correct path, which then I could navigate to.
  3. Realize it’s case sensitive, I’m used to working in the opposite

The breakthrough was really #2, once I had that, was just a matter of navigating to the right place.

I’ve gotten so used to point and click that my command line skills were seriously rusty. And to think at one time, that’s how we all worked.
