This is a script that installs the required libraries, and makes the proper directories for the Linux beta download of GameMaker Studio 2 on Ubuntu 24.04.
NOTE: This script does not download the GameMaker Debian package, after the script download the package from: and install with sudo dpkg -i GameMaker-Beta-2024.800.0.618.deb (where GameMaker-Beta-2024.800.0.618.deb is whatever the current debian package is called.)
*** Ubuntu 22.04 has issues with the most current beta: GameMaker-Beta-2024.800.0.618.deb that need to be resolved manually. While this script will do some of the work, you'll need to install libvorbis-dev, uninstall ffmpeg, and manually install ffmpeg with ./configure --enable-libvorbis Thanks to @gnysek from the GameMaker community for this ***
