Roblox Studio 64 bit Wine Workaround

README.md

I've attached a script which will automatically walk you through the entire workaround process.

ChromeOS users should run these commands inside of your Linux Terminal (not crosh).

In your Linux terminal

1. Run cd ~/Downloads to navigate to your Downloads folder.
2. Download the script. (E.g. by running wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Hexcede/7dfff16fbda540aa58b4381bd0c81c73/raw/setup_studio.sh)
3. Run it via bash setup_studio.sh.

setup_studio.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
