    Title explains it all, I am having trouble following Sexual Rhinoceros’s tutorial on opening .paks for linux ubuntu.

    Does anybody know how I must structure the terminal command?

    Tried to understand it, all I came up with it this

    Code:
    Execute Home/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux32/asset_unpacker <Home/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/assets/Test>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

    You need 3 things
    1. Location of the unpacker
    2. Location of the pack file
    3. Where you want to unpack.

    In that order
    You only have 2 [Ironically missing number 2 ]

    Missed it and tried it again

    Code:
    Execute Home/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux32/asset_unpacker Home/.local/share/Steam/SteamAppps/common/Starbound/assets/packed.pak <Home/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/assets/Test>

    why do you have a greater than symbol infront of home?
    Code:
    <Home/.local/share
    ?

    Thats what I understood from the wiki note you sent me, so there is no greater than or any other sort of separation?

    Edit: ran it again

    Code:
    Execute Home/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux32/asset_unpacker Home/.local/share/Steam/SteamAppps/common/Starbound/assets/packed.pak Home/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/assets/Test
Execute: command not found

    If everything is working fine - just leave a message back

    It says it does not recognise the command

    Code:
    Execute Home/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/linux32/asset_unpacker Home/.local/share/Steam/SteamAppps/common/Starbound/assets/packed.pak Home/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/assets/Test
Execute: command not found

    mm have you tried going to the directory first.
    Not 100% sure about linux but using cd: \ - to point to the starbound directory
    So you are in the starbound directory - before typing in

    Code:
    ./asset_unpacker ../assets/packed.pak ../assets/unpacked
    like that

    Kind of lost, sexual rhino has the same thing and I don't quite understand it.

    So you mean
    Code:
    Execute cd:/home/blah blah
    ?

    I don't know about Linux - but in windows when you want to run a command line program.
    You first have to change the directory in cmd to the location where the program is.

    Well tried it, and a few other things. I am getting the unknown command line with just about every attempt

    Just to notice that Stormalisk trouble was resolved in my mod thread.

    My mod ModPackHelper work for Windows 32/64 and Linux 32/64 and can easily unpack Starbound assets and pack/unpack mods.
