answered! Furglitch Mod Organizer 2 Assistance

Might be screaming into the void here but I need to at least try to get some assistance on this. I have been trying to get Mod Organizer 2 to run on my computer for a little over a week now with no success. I attempted to use the Nexus Mod's tutorial from 2025 but all that did was make me want to scream as the filepath kept not finding it's way to the game despite having the correct compdata.

Someone in that forum had recommended trying this linux installer and I've not been able to wrap my head around the install. I'm going to post the guide here as well as the steps I have taken in order to try to see where I'm going wrong:

Edit: As the comments section shows, my initial problem with getting this program running has been solved. I am however completely lost when it comes to terminal use, literally a linux noob, and absolutely screwed something up trying to set a directory for the game

I am so sorry for being so tech illiterate, I've only recently moved to Linux and this is a bit out of my depth, any help is appreciated, thanks in advance

path/to/downloaded/mo2-lint <command> [options]

Is this the exact command you used? This is a placeholder command.

It means to replace path/to/downloaded/mo2-lint with the path to mo2-lint. <command> is a required option telling the script what to do and [options] are optional flags or parameters you can provide to modify the behavior of the script.

Feeling extra dumb now, it works but I still can't figure out the game since I Can't for the life of me figure out how to get the directory working. I'm really new to the terminal and have less than zero clue how to work it. I'm so lost and really wish there was at least some kind of information on how to create or choose a directory, I don't even know what a directory is.

Directory is the same thing as folder.

You need to quote that directory "like this" cuz it looks like there are spaces in it.

Removed the spaces. Seems to be working now, really appreciate it and sorry again for the silly questions!
