Marbles is distributed as a framework-dependent application and does not include the .NET runtime and libraries. This means that the .NET framework (a free open source cross-platform framework) must be downloaded and installed separately on your system before you can run Marbles.
Ensure that you have .NET 6/core installed on your system. If not you can get it here:
- Download: Marbles1011.zip (73Kb)
- Unzip the Marbles.dll and Marbles.runtimeconfig.json into a directory of your choosing.
- Open your favorite terminal, navigate to the Marbles directory and type
dotnet Marbles.dll(Linux is case sensitive)
You can always simplify the process and create an alias like "mbls" etc. to run Marbles with less typing. See this guide for more information.
The preferred terminal on Windows is the Windows Terminal. But if you prefer a Windows download that contains an executable that you can run directly, use the following option. The supplied Conhost executable is the same application used for the classic Windows console or cmd.exe. The Zip contains Marbles.exe, Marbles.dll and Marbles.runtimeconfig.json (The Marbles.dll and Marbles.runtimeconfig.json in this download are the same builds as the first download for Windows and Linux).
