microbot-launcher-unix

microbot-launcher-unix is an unofficial Windows, macOS and Linux Launcher for Microbot!

Although it can be used on all 3 platforms just fine, it is mainly intended for using Microbot on macOS or Linux (hence why the -unix is in the name). For Windows you can use the Official Launcher too.

Features

• Automatically downloads the latest non-nightly .jar file from GitHub releases & puts it into a /jars directory which gets created in the same folder as the launcher

• Deletes old microbot versions and checks for new ones

• Launches the .jar file for you

• Portable (writes to its own directory)

How to use

NOTE: Requires Java 11 (just like Microbot)

1. Put the Launcher in the folder where you want to have the files organized.

2. Launch using Terminal:

java -jar microbot-launcher-linux.jar

3. Enjoy!

Using a Jagex Account

You can use the Launcher with a Jagex Account, however you currently need to do some manual steps:

Obtain a credentials.properties file from a RuneLite launcher. This can be from a Windows, macOS or Linux Launcher.

For Windows and macOS, see here.

For Linux using the third-party Bolt Launcher:

1. Install Bolt Launcher from Flathub. More information about Bolt can also be found on it's Git Repository.

• For setting up Flathub for your Linux distro, see here.

2. After logging into Bolt Launcher, select RuneLite as the Game client.

3. Go to the Application Options and click on Configure RuneLite:

4. In the window that pops up, paste the following argument for Client arguments:

--insecure-write-credentials

5. Now if you start RuneLite, a credentials.properties file will be generated to the following path:

/home/YOUR-USERNAME/.var/app/com.adamcake.Bolt/data/bolt-launcher/.runelite/

NOTE: Do NOT share this file with anyone!

6. Copy the credentials.properties file in to the .runelite folder at the following path:

/home/YOUR-USERNAME/.runelite/

NOTE: If you don't have a .runelite folder at the path above, make sure to launch Microbot through the launcher once)

7. Now when you start Microbot through the Launcher again, it should work with your Jagex Account!
