Tool Ren'Py UnRen for MacOS and Linux v0.8.2

[MrBlack ✌]

That is the one I'm using, ya that stop it from closing and ya I need python 2 I did try to instill it before with no luck.

I remember also some issues with installation and use of python 2+3. Better search the web for a step by step install guide for installing both versions. Or ask ChatGPT for help.

some issues with installation and use of python 2

Good luck with this.
Py2 is dead for 5 years official and unofficial anther 5 or so. AFAIK there are no install candidates anymore for most *nix distros by now. Means compiling it yourself and installing etc. is the way from here on. So fun!

It's no problem to download Python 2.7.18 from python.org and compile and install it. Just for installing and using it side by side with up to date python 3 needs a good step by step guide.

If you don't want to use python2, do the following:

cd to your local path/to/UnRen\ Tools/ install

git clone or download & extract the zip of

in ./UnRen\ Tools/

Note: you need to rename ./decompiler/ and unrpyc.py to avoid a naming conflict when making symlinks

While terminal is in path/to/UnRen\ Tools/:

If installed via git clone, run the following:

ln -s ./unrpyc/decompiler/ ./decompiler/

ln -s ./unrpyc/unrpyc.py ./unrpyc.py

If installed via extracting a zip, run the following:

ln -s path/to/decompiler/ ./decompiler/

ln -s path/to/unrpyc.py ./unrpyc.py

Next, open ../UnRen.command with an editor.
(Opening normally may default to running it, right click the file -> 'Open With' -> TextEdit.app or another editor application)

Scroll down to (or META+F) down to:

rpatool_raw=`dirname "$0"`"/UnRen Tools/rpatool"
rpatool=`python -c "import os; print(os.path.realpath('$rpatool_raw'))"`
unrpyc_raw=`dirname "$0"`"/UnRen Tools/unrpyc.py"
unrpyc=`python -c "import os; print(os.path.realpath('$unrpyc_raw'))"`
pyver=`python -c 'import sys; print(sys.version_info[0])'`
# Python 3 is not currently supported by unrpyc.
if [ $pyver -eq 2 ]; then
    python='python'
else
    python='python2'
fi

And replace it with:

rpatool_raw=`dirname "$0"`"/UnRen Tools/rpatool"
rpatool=`python3 -c "import os; print(os.path.realpath('$rpatool_raw'))"`
unrpyc_raw=`dirname "$0"`"/UnRen Tools/unrpyc.py"
unrpyc=`python3 -c "import os; print(os.path.realpath('$unrpyc_raw'))"`
pyver=`python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.version_info[0])'`
# Python 3 is now supported by unrpyc.
if [ $pyver -eq 3 ]; then
    python='python'
else
    python='python3'
fi

And tada! That's all you needed to do!

(I think I screwed up the methodology, but it'll do.)

I was getting this error in Ubuntu:

Cannot find rpatool or unrpyc in UnRen v0.8.2 Tools. Exiting.

I couldn't find the solution on the forum, but in the end I managed to find the solution on my own.
This happens because rpatool and unrpyc try to use the python command. However, if you have python2 installed on your system, you will only have the python2 command available.

The solution is to create a symbolic link for python with the following command:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python

And that's it. Now it should work for you without any problem. At least it worked for me.

But this is not the only problem I had.

At first, when I wanted to open the application for the first time, I got the following error:

python is not installed, or not added to your PATH. Please install/reinstall it from python.org
Python 3 is not supported by unrpyc; you need a Python 2 installation

The problem is that the latest versions of ubuntu only bring python 3 in their repositories. And the repositories with python 2 no longer work. The solution is to install manually.

First we have to make sure we have the necessary dependencies for manual installation with the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev \
libssl-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev curl

Then we use the following commands to install python2:

cd /usr/src
sudo curl -O https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.18/Python-2.7.18.tgz
sudo tar xvf Python-2.7.18.tgz
cd Python-2.7.18
sudo ./configure --enable-optimizations
sudo make -j$(nproc)
sudo make altinstall

Next, we verify the installation with:

python2.7 --version

Now you will have the python2.7 command, but we need the python2 command only, so we create a symbolic link for python2 with the following command:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2

And that's it.

Although that works i wouldn't recommend it. Manually lning applications might fuck up other applications that you have installed. E.x yt-dlp might not work anymore as it requires python3.

If you wan't to do it manually you can edit your path variable temporrary by executing export PATH=/usr/local/src/pythony2/:$PATH

This will prepend the python2 binaries to your path and allow you to execute the command that needs another runtime.

Personally i also wouldn't do this do, as tools as pyenv exist.

Toolsl ike pyenv can make it easier to swithc between alot of python versions without making it hard to maintain it.

Basicly you could just run this three commands on most linux installations, but read the readme to make sure that it works on your system.

curl -fsSL https://pyenv.run | bash
pyenv install 2.X
pyenv global 2.X
unren...

Yeah. And its dead. I would rather change this old versions of "unren for mac/lx" to point to python2. In case someone overhauls it for py3 we're already set, so there will be no chaos.

Personally i also wouldn't do this do, as tools as pyenv exist.

And there is also pipx which automatically creates a venv for each pip app install.
