Build

macOS

1. Navigate to the FSO.Unix folder.
2. Run the following command in Terminal to build a release publish:

dotnet publish -c Release -r osx-arm64 --self-contained true

This will generate a .app bundle in: bin/Release/net9.0/osx-arm64/publish folder. You can then copy the app to your Applications folder.

Linux

1. Navigate to the FSO.Unix folder.
2. Run the following command to build:

dotnet build -r linux-x64

Or to publish a self-contained release:

dotnet publish -c Release -r linux-x64 --self-contained true

Deploy

To build, install, and launch in one step:

./deploy.sh

This script works on both macOS and Linux:

• macOS: Installs to /Applications/FreeSO.app and opens the app
• Linux: Installs to ~/.local/share/FreeSO and creates a desktop entry

Launch 3D

macOS

To open the app in 3D mode, run the open command with --args -3d:

E.g when the application is placed in the Applications folder, you can run:

open /Applications/FreeSO.app --args -3d

Linux

./FreeSO -3d

Troubleshooting

Deploy Script Permissions

If you get a permission denied error when running deploy.sh, make it executable:
