Issue installing Rivet CLI on Godot 4.2.2 (Fedora Linux)
Hello everyone! I am pretty new to programming and decided to try out making a multiplayer game in Godot using Rivet.
I have installed the Rivet plugin through AssetLib, enabled the plugin in project settings and then restarted my editor.
When I head over to the Rivet tab, it tells me to install Rivet CLI. I press the button to install it through the editor and it gives me this error no matter how many times I try :(

hey @LavaHoleD! i'm taking a look at the issue with @AngelOnFira
alright!! thank you very much!! :D
it looks like you're on linux, right? which distro are you using?
I'm using Fedora :P
it's a RHEL based distro
I have godot installed through steam
awesome, we'll take a look. we're likely missing an edge case on windows.
Hmm, a few things to check out. In Godot's settings, there should be a tab for Rivet. Can you enable debug in there and let me know what it says when you try to install?
I'll give Godot a try through steam myself once I get the chance, and see if I run into anything like that :ferristhumbsup:
If the download doesn't work, you can also install the CLI from the repo and set the path to it in the plugin settings https://github.com/rivet-gg/cli
I'll take a look shortly and let you know!
here's what I get in the output

if you run
stat /home/lavaholed/.rivet/v1.3.0/bin/rivet what does it show?
and also /home/lavaholed/.rivet/v1.3.0/bin/rivet --versionin the terminal?
of my linux installation
ya, in linux 👍

hmm
If you restart Godot and try again, is it the same error?
yep
atp, do you recommend in the meantime installing the CLI from the repo?
Ya, if it's still stuck, then installing it from the repo is the way to go
I'll check on my end to see what causes would get it to fail through Godot
alright :P
installed through the repo, worked!
Great! I'll ping you once I find out more, since it will be a lot easier if the plugin updates :ferristhumbsup:
alright! :D
