I come across this error while trying to install games, I’m new to linux and don’t understand what’s wrong. It’s a fresh system, help would be appreciated.

Started initial process 31321 from /home/eray/Games/roblox/install.py

You are missing the “msgfmt” program, which basically compiles translations into binary format. This is part of the gettext package, or may be gettext-tools in your distribution.

P.S. I mean specifically, to use your distribution’s package manager to install “gettext” and/or “gettext-tools” packages :slight_smile:
