Installing CKAN on Solus - KSP-CKAN/CKAN GitHub Wiki

Download

Similarly to other Linux distros:

  1. Download the most recent CKAN.exe
  2. Install the needed packages via
sudo eopkg install curl-devel curl-32bit-devel libgdiplus-devel openssl-devel mono mono-devel
  1. Use the legacy Mono TLS Provider (I'm not developer, so I vaguely understand this, but it seems that CKAN will not download mods or will start and stop at 1% unless you run this command) (source: https://dev.getsol.us/T3881
export MONO_TLS_PROVIDER=legacy

Not sure if this step is still required after further troubleshooting fixes, but alas, its still here for now...

  1. As mentioned in the SSL certificate errors wiki page, run:
sudo cert-sync /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
  1. Run ckan.exe with mono
mono ckan.exe

This is what worked for a newly installed version of Solus

Good luck all!
