How To Install Saints Row 2 Gentlemen of the Row On Linux! [TUTORIAL]

First I want to make clear I'm using Ubuntu 16.0.4 LTS. This might only work for that linux operating system

1. Install wine open a new terminal and type sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa then hit continue.
2. Then install it by doing these commands sudo apt-get update then do sudo apt-get install wine1.8 winetricks
3. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE ON 64-BIT OPERATING SYSTEM! sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
4. Now type this into your terminal sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds (These are al the wine builds)
5. Do sudo apt-get update to update the PPA
6. Type this into your terminal to get the recomended Wine version for your computor sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel
7. Now configure wine to your likeing by typing winecfg
8. Alright, now your ready to install Gentlemen of the Row On Linux go to idolninja's offical website and download his mod or click this link for an instant download http://idolninja.saintsrowmods.com/..._of_the_Row_Saints_Row_2_Super_Mod_v1.9.2.rar
9. Extract the files and go to the folder then open your terminal and cd to the folder for example mine is in my downloads folder so I would do cd ~/Downloads/Gentlemen_of_the_Row_Saints_Row_2_Super_Mod_v1.9.2
10. Now in your terminal type wine cmd then type start Create_Custom_GotR_v1.9.2.bat
11. Now go through the installation like usual then go to the MY_CUSTOM_PATCH folder and take those files to your saints row 2 folder and drop them in (Make sure to backup the original files to revert the game back to normal!)
12. If you don't know how to get to your game folder go to steam right click the game and go to properties then local files then click on browse local files.
 
You can also use a Windows computer or VM without Saints Row installed to create your package. I did translate the cleanup script for SR3 to Linux as well. You should be able to do the same with the one in SR2 from my translation here...
