Do you want to install the Cli or Gui version? If you want the Cli version, there should be no problems. Just run

./UndertaleModCli load /path/to/data/file -i

-i is the interactive mode, and you will see instructions on your screen.

If you want the Gui version, use wine.

First, install wine: sudo apt install wine

Personally, I prefer to use a script:

#!/bin/bash
WINE_PATH="Z:${1//\//\\}"

wine /home/yartom/UTMT/UndertaleModTool.exe "$WINE_PATH"

Just create a script like "UTMT.sh" and paste this code into it.

Now you can open the data.win file using UTMT.sh. The script will automatically enter the file path so UTMT can save the file properly.

A simple opening file with wine /path/to/UndertaleModTool.exe will also work, but then you'll have to manually select the path when saving the file.

wine works well until it doesn't i've been using wine to run utmt for a few months and i have experienced multiple graphical glitches flashes of black, flickering, and recently wine not even rendering the ui it's either wine jank or yet another nvidia problem

I am on Gentoo, it would be nice to have compile steps laid out. I do not know why this is Ubuntu focused when it breaks so much. It might be better to have a Debian focused compile that way it is focused for LMDE users. Note I am talking about a linux native compile that uses commands like make -j12
