Playdate SDK not Installing properly on Debian and Arch Linux

SDK Get Help

My Problem
If I install the SDK using the setup.sh script it looks like its Installing the SDK but it is acually doing NOTHING

What I've already tried

  • Reinstalling the SDK multiple times
  • Reinstalling (and Switching) my Linux Distro
  • Inspecting the setup.sh for Bugs
  • Installing the SDK with the Enviorment Variable already enabled
  • Inserting the whole Path to the SDK(/home...)
  • Removing the "export" argument from the Enviorment Variable in the .bashrc file

(Sorry if my English is bad I am a non-native english speaker)

setup.sh doesn't install the SDK, it just installs the .desktop file(s) for the simulator. You just point the path to that folder. You need to use export PATH=$PATH:$PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH/bin along with the export for PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH (or whatever it's called.)
