How can I install an older version of LOVE Games Development?

  • 772

I want to play OMG!Words (Check the last game in the article) but I can't get it to run because it needs LOVE 0.7 and the ppa I added has the latest stable version, LOVE 0.8.0. My version of Ubuntu is Precise Pangolin (12.04 64-bit). When I checked the launchpad for LOVE (Launchpad for LOVE), 0.7.1 was only available for Ubuntu 10.04 and I do not want to risk breaking my repositories by using it. The game starts out fine, until it tries to download the dictionary for it. I want to either install the version of LOVE it needs or try another way to get the game to run. Any help would be much appreciated.

Note: To anyone who looks at this question, here's some screenshots of what happens when I try to use the version of LOVE for Precise. Before starting the gameAfter the game starts

  1. OMG! Words works with the LOVE version in the Precise repositories which is version 0.7.2. Probably the newest 0.8 breaks the game and that's why it doesn't run using that version.

    So you don't need the PPA nor you don't have to use the older releases of LOVE, simply download the deb file from the article and install it.
